Ditto on the Gardner system. I installed one on my 69 Chevelle and one on my 70 Z28. They both went on almost too easy! And fit!

Curious if GARDNER use a IMCO crossflow muffler on the 69 Camaro systems, as they do on the 1970 Camaro Z-28/SS dual exhaust system.

Or do the top restored cars occasionally find NOS mufflers.

Some of the 1970 owners were fortunate to run across a batch of NOS assy line rejects.

As stated before & seconded!

I vote for the plated hangers & flame coated flanges!
Makes for a VERY clean installation.
Pay for quality

I am happy with my-set up and WILL return for another

Garner is hands down the best but expect plenty of back pressure like the original system .If you want top performance you must go aftermarket .
