They are orignal. I said they are factory reproduction of the exact exhaust system the factory used. I dont know what he is wanting to do if he wants factory exhaust or custom exhaut or what. He just said preformed and this company offers preformed.

Any real muffler shop should be able to duplicate the OEM style pipes. If I had a copy of the cards, it would not take anything for me to bend up a factory correct system. Most long standing shops should still have card files that go back this far. If there was much of a market for OEM style systems I would get some copies of the cards and knock a few sets out. Its easy to bend up a stock looking system that even clamps like originals. Unfortunately most shops dont care enough anymore to go to the trouble. I do like the looks of a clean stock system, especially with the coated tubing used these days.

Thanks Mike

Several of the repro places like Dennis Carpenter have replacement pre bent exhaust pipes like original, also have mufflers and clamps. For the 6 cyl just two pipes and a muffler and you are done. Forget taking it to a shop. I have bought several of these pre bent pipes both for the 6 and 8 cyl engines. I bought an extra set of pipes then cut and welded them back together to create a stock looking dual exhaust where the left side matches the stock right side. Am doing a similar thing right now building the exhaust for my panel truck.

I agree...back in the late '70's I worked as a bookeeper for a guy who had
several Midas shops and as I recall that included a very extensive collection of OEM data cards...
Can't hurt to call around...

Ah ok, I would recomend that site cause after all I seen one of Jay leno`s cars with a reproduction exhaust put on and he interviewed a guy from the company and they claim that its so much like factory it will have the same exhaust tone. How ever I think it comes manderl bent. Offers them in aluminized steel or stainless steel.
