Thanks for your reply, Rocky. That sounds really good, but I'm afraid it's louder than my parents' car. It does have the correct cut at the end. I actually printed off that Gardner photo to give to the local muffler shop, so it gets bent correctly. The system on my car was done before I purchased it, and whoever put it on did what many shops do. They run that passenger side pipe directly under the oil filter. That requires removal of that pipe from the exhaust manifold to change oil. It has to shift over to allow access to the filter and the Gardner system does exactly that, so the correct end cut and bend at the filter tells me they make a quality product. If I recall correctly, mom's car almost sounded like a quiet flowmaster. The car was a bit of a sleeper back then. The car in the video has the more aggressive turbo muffler, so I guess that's why it's louder.

By the way, that 71 four speed car is a beauty! I've watched some videos of that car. If it's your car, congrats man. It's awesome.

Anyway. Thanks again for your reply.

That was my '71 at the time when I installed the Gardner system. I ordered the stock mufflers, but Eric's video stated they were turbo. Maybe he was just going by the tone in my video? Regardless, it fit perfectly and sounded great! That was my third Gardner system, never disappointed.
