Good luck
I did a 67 convert for someone who bought their complete system and it fit horribly. They sent a new set of rear pipes(at an extra charge) and I still had to hack and weld pieces to get a half Ash fit. Search the forum for the pics of problem areas I had.I believe that tires were about same size too. |

I bought the dual muffler kit with the x-pipe and Violator mufflers for my 69 hardtop and I had a resto shop that specializes in NCRS corvettes put it on. They had well over a day and a half putting the kit in and getting it to fit correctly. They said the tailpipes were terrible and they had to rebend them. I ended up paying almost a day and a half labor with them messing with the kit. There was also some mis-labeling of some of the pipes. I emailed Pypes since I thought they may want to talk to the shop considering how much I spent including the entire kit and band clamps, plus all the labor but the tech guy pretty much blew me off and didn't want to hear it.

My magnaflow setup pretty much just bolted up on my 69 coupe. spend a bit more and its well worth it.

Search again...http://forums.maxperformanceinc.com/...ighlight=pypes
Was told that the shop that did it wasnt very professional(it was me and my shop),I see other non professionals have the same problem "I had a resto shop that specializes in NCRS corvettes put it on. They had well over a day and a half putting the kit in and getting it to fit correctly. They said the tailpipes were terrible and they had to rebend them. I ended up paying almost a day and a half labor with them messing with the kit". Second set of tailpipes were said to be the improved version.So much for that. |
