[PurelyGTO68]

Have been restoring my 68 RA II GTO manual trans vert for a while now. For the most part it can be considered a finished project but they are never really finished are they?

In my case, I was never pleased with the fit and function of the exhaust system I bought from Ames so I decided to order a system from Gardner along with their concourse kit. It basically has all the correct clamps and hangars etc. Paying for the system hurt a bit. I mean, how much sense does it make to spend $1400 on an exhaust system? (including freight).

Well......
The Gardner kit is excellent fit and workmanship. I am still amazed how perfect it fit and how easy it went together. The head pipes have the top section flattened at the crossmember like I presume the original pipes were. It just looks and sounds correct.

I would spend the money again.
If any of you are restoring a GTO and Gardner makes a kit then I would recommend you find a way to work it into your budget.

I usually dont endorse products but this system is impressive. Maybe there are other options out there that are just as good but I am not aware of any.
