Default Gardner Exhaust

While I am not telling many of you anything new, I was just in awe over how nice the Gardner system I installed on my Dad's 67 442 yesterday.

WORTH EVERY SINGLE PENNY! What a pleasure.

Certainly, it helps it is a 26k car that came apart with hand tools [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/naughty.gif[/img]

Though a bit pricey I still continue to buy on average about 4 sets a year from them. Been buying them exclusively for the last 12 years. Great people to deal with and custom build their systems to my specs which no one else will.

Lay them on the ground under the car and they almost jump into place... [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img] A standard I wish would rub off on the rest of the repop community.
Right Ken ? Just sayin'

anyone bought a set for a Z lately? Wondering if the muffler crimping problem was resolved before I buy mine.

i have bought 4 in the last 18 months - and they are great. Had an issue with what we believe is a loose baffle from the red 69RS SS car we did about 18 month ago.....maybe 60 miles on the car....called eric and he stood behind his product - great people and more than happy to pay the price for a quality product and super service.

Bill - elaborate a little on your issue??

Love my Gardner system, love the &quot;deep tone&quot; sound. Money well spent.

As mike stated, it almost falls into the car. I put it in my 67 RS/SS. It was worth every penny! Eric is great to deal with. I have never heard a bad word about the Gardners!
