When I bought this 69 RS/SS L78 w/12k org miles, it had thrush side pipes on it. The original owner told me he took the car to get it inspected locally & without notifying him they installed a new exhaust because they found pin holes, he was so mad he installed the thrush side pipes. I chose to put a new Gardner system on before I had it judged at the Camaro Natl's in Carlisle.

Gardner made my exhaust in raw steel, it was a special request. I left the pipes outside for a few weeks and added a little salty solution to speed up the aging process.
