72 LT1 Vette

Thanks Tim. I have gone back and forth on this and even asked some of the guys I know who do restorations(on a national level) for a living and get both answers for different reasons.

The case for replacing the exhaust is the same, its not original to that car.

Their arguement for the side exhaust is that unless I were to do a total restoration on the car its better to get rid of the parts that are just junk(electric fuel pump, air horns, etc) and preserve the "good stuff". Since it has had this exhaust on it since mid 70's, and the side pipes and covers are all oringinal GM parts from that time for that body style car, vs a new non-GM, repro aftermarket exhaust system, that it preserves the "good" side of the car the way it has been for 38 years. I have removed all the aftermarket fuel system and things that should not have been on the car and put it all back right. Just debating the exhaust thing a little. Not sure about their argument??

I will get a pic and post it soon.
