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]

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'

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.

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??
