DAY 2 EXHAUST SYSTEM for Camaro/Nova

[Day2_69Z]

Anybody have a Day 2 Exhaust system they are willing to part with ?
Looking for first gen Camaro a complete system in NOS or Mint Condition.
Have Headers: Head pipes, Mufflers and Tailpipes are needed.

Anybody have a vintage,authentic old s'cool system to show off for comparison ????

I can't say I remember a full system on a day 2 car. Sams ol' Roof Duece was about as high tech as it got in my area. Most were a cheap pair of glass packs or turbo's both mounted directly to the headers. I ran about 8"of straight pipe and a pair of turbos. No down or out tips after. I used to be able to lay there with my leg under them to reinstall them after a romp with open headers. They were left on the side of the road or in a drieway many times. Old friends still remember and talk about that sound......I just remember the fumes and the tapping of the mufflers on the floor at idle. Dents are still there. All my money went into the motor!

Here is a neat option, " Love my Purple Hornies"

It doesn't get much more "Day 2" than this.



These were for those who prefered a little more subtlety.

YEAH BUDDY!...that along with white painted vintage 4-flange headers and dumps on the COPO...

...as some may recall I bought these on eBay (they were NOS) and the guy shipped them from Mexico and US Customs was nice enough to drill about 8 holes in them and just tossed them back in the box never repackaging them evidently looking for drugs...I'm guessing they were trying to find their next fix...found out the dark Ford Blue hi-temp enamel color is a dead-ringer for the thrush blue, welded the holes closed and repainted...I'm just grateful they drilled in the blue and not into the artwork...

In great respect to these Rare Day 2 pieces my research (memory recall &amp; inquiries with people in the know from back in the day)
I've confirmed some info:
The Hush Thrush Turbos were nothing more than universal replacement, imitations of GM's Actual Corvair Turbo mufflers. Poor imitations at that, using various nipple sizes &amp; 2&quot; flow thru where Real Ones were 2 1/2&quot; inlet/outlet with true large flow tubes/ baffles ..
The Hush Thrush Glass pack cans updated from Early 50's original design for very small C.I. engines such as Flat heads, Nail valve Buick's, 265/283 Chevys Etc....using a Seriously small 1 1/2-1 3/4 flow thru punched knife like construction with various nipple sizes from 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 inches.
Quite ineffective for Performance, geared more towards guys who wanted Noisey attention than HP. The Cherry Bomb Turbos &amp; Glass Packs were made by Maremont and were more performance based in design using 2 1/4-2 1/2 inch flow thru on the 1970 -76 designs. (Turbos were 2 1/2&quot; &amp; nearly identical to GM ....Walker had nice ones too)
That said, GM TURBOS, MAREMONT &amp; WALKER Performance Glass Packs are a Top choice.
Finding NOS Ones is another story........
the Lithoed Woodpecker and HUSH THRUSH paint Scheme, doesn't cut it for my application......

Blue is a bit harder to find.....




The Lakewood is a NOS 3 point, the mounting kit is for a 65-72 fastback Mustang. It was to go in a local Boss 9 way back when but never made it.






Thanks for making me get the box out, found a NOS Panther inside along with some 8-trk holders, better than Christmas!

Nice, I think those are the turbos I ran!?!?

OK, I'M HOOKED
I'LL TAKE THE HUSH THRUSH TURBO's.....

[Day2_69Z]

Oh Wow, COOL !
NEAT STUFF.
I bet that 3 point may fit Novas, chevelles and maybe even Camaros
