I haven't been a big fan of the "tuner" exhaust systems as of late. but my existing 2 1/2" pipes looked like pea shooters. So I broke down and picked up 2 - 3 1/2 " resinator tips. They look much better and give the new V-8 a deep droan.

Tony,
They look good with your flares, and wider tires on the back. I think with a narrow body, they would look too big. Are your old ones chrome? I could use them on my Triad for a little different look if you don't want them. How is your spoiler on the trunk attached? Had one like that on my 70 years ago. Had it cut in half- removed a few inches so it just fit the width of the trunk lid- and had it glued in place. How is the new V8 doing? Tom |

Tom Hi Tom, I cut the old ones in half to fit the new ones over them, Not worth passing them on. The new V-8 is good, We need to plan a West sound get together.... T |
