Hi Droop,
The stock aluminized welded system from Corvette Central is one you might want to consider.
It installs very easily and fits well.
It's available with either the stock type mufflers or a N11 off road mufflers that have one less baffle in them so give a bit louder sound.
If you can be patient for a little while CC often has free shipping specials which will save you a little $$.
I was really quite surprised and pleased how well the system fit on my 71.
Good Luck!
Regards,
Alan

Looking for an exhaust system for my 1970 corvette 350/300 hp. I'm trying to stick to an original or a good reproduction. The originals are very hard to find as everyone knows. I really don't have a clue about the reproduction quality.. Looking for some suggestions. One of the few items left on my restoration list.... thanks Droop

Hi Droop,
Yes, I bought the welded system.
I too was concerned about how the tailpipe/muffler would fit, but was pleasantly surprised. It appears CC must have a pretty precise jig for the pipe and muffler to get a consistent positioning before the weld.
The system was easy to install and getting the exhaust tips centered in the valance bezels was straight forward.
What I like is not having the extra set of clamps between the mufflers and pipes and that the pipes tucked up very high as they ran under the rear spring mount so you don't see them hanging down.
I'm sure not everyone is as pleased as I was but I really thought they were good.
I bought the sb, 4-speed, aluminized, welded, system for a 71.
Regards,
Alan

I used the CC system with Magnaflow mufflers. Not the welded one though.

It does fit very nice.

Dan, Did the system come with bands or clamps? Droop

Hi d74,
What's going on at the other end of the front pipes is even more interesting!

Hi Droop,
The pipes and mufflers I'm trying to put together are service replacement pieces.
They're not totally correct for my 71, but are about as close as I think I'm likely to find at this point.
The pipes are carbon steel so they rust while you stand looking at them. I have cleaned the rust that was on them, (surprisingly little), and have a preservative on them now.
I really am only trying to put the set together in anticipation of perhaps having the car Flight Judged for it's 50th birthday.
If I were to begin driving my car I'd put the CC aluminized system back on in a heartbeat.
Putting an exhaust system together and finding original tires really isn't just about the points because there aren't that many involved…. but is much more about pushing the envelope for an ordinary car that typically wouldn't get this much restoration attention.
Regards,
Alan
