I think Ames offers them.

I bought a set (of the correct for 1970 tips) as soon as they were released (at the time it was 'Perfomance Years' that offered them - but Ames bought PY).
I believe they are now offered in stainless steel as well as chromed.

Yeah polished is good. If I find good set I'll have rechromed maybe but I think they starting to band chrome so next options cut the 45 degree to.22 or repop.and polish. Lazy option is run 45 degree

This from the Gardner website. I didn't check to see if they sell them separately, but I would think that they would.

Can I please request a link to this Gardener site? I think Formula Bruce also mentioned something about this but I was unclear and starting to better understand now.
Thanks

Direct link to the 1970 Firebird lineup. They do not sell the extensions unless you purchase the exhaust system is the way I understand it.

I just called . They have chrome tips but your right it's about a 2k system bolt on. I honestly hope to find just chrome tips and run an x pipe system if possible and a borla exhuast manifold that's quite and flows good. But I'm not sure yet it's to far ahead of me. Thanks for link Mike. There system is 100% stock I guess when I take engine e out I can ask for grouos opinion and advice.

Ignacio, if you want to cut down a set, you would have to use/find a set of '74s. Re-cutting the angle on a set of '71-3 would make them too short.


On a side note, I wonder how many different versions were NOS? I have the later units stamped (part number)FT. Others stamped NJ(part number)(2 places) and NK(part number).
