Exhaust Pipes
« on: October 07, 2017, 04:47:48 PM »
Is there any demand for head pipes and tailpipes made like originals? May have found someone who can make them.

I thought the ones that Garner Exhaust sells were correct?  If not, what is different?

Brian,

Gardner will not not sell the headpipes or tailpipes separately. You have to buy the whole system. They have the right headpipes for the 66 Chev,
but I didn't feel I needed to spend $1000 for pipes and mufflers for a driver. I love Gardner exhaust and would use them again in a heartbeat for
a show car, but just can't justify it for the Chev. Had to do some looking.

Gardner will sell individual pipes to those who have already bought a complete system from them. Bought a set of tail pipes for Loren. Seem to recall they were $300 or so however.

Magic Muffler in Iowa Falls IA had a program to mold the pipes for my GS They came out very nice for not much money. Talk to Mike  641-648-9487

Dan,

I would guess that applies to a system the same as what you had already purchased. Not a different vehicle.
I didn't know Gardner would do that.

Downpipes for those that prefer a higher performance header-back system might be useful.
There are lots of header-back systems available, but connecting it to GS exhaust manifolds requires the downpipes. I don't believe those are available anywhere.

Hey John,

I'll let you know. He's supposed to call me tonight. His prices are very reasonable.

Loren,

Hadn't thought about it. I'll ask him if something can be done if a group purchase can be put together.
Was really just seeing if there was another resource out there for the parts.

I had a two inch diameter dual exhaust system manufactured and installed on my Special in 2013 by a Midas shop in Shakopee Minnesota.  The shop has (if still there) a computer programmable bending machine with the ability to generate original factory systems.

104 Market St N, Shakopee, MN 55379

Might be worth a phone call.

Kevin,

I'll check them out. The blast guy I use is out near that.

Spoke with the exhaust maker tonight. If you are interested in have a stock system made for use with the manifolds, 2 head pipes, 2 tailpipes, post here and we'll try and get a group purchase started.
