If you are replacing the system you are strongly urged to extend the tail pipe out to at least the bumper length. _________________________ RAY Member Chat Group - Non-Geographical Region Chevradioman http://www.vccacolumbiariverregion.org/ If I had known that growing old would be this much fun---I'd have done it sooner!

1928isgreat Registered: 04/21/10 Posts: 937 Loc: Melbourne, Victoria, Australia	Agree 100% with Antique Mechanic, I fitted a reproduction system on my 28, noisy as anything, replaced it the following day. Quieter, safer, and you leave the noise behind. Cheers Ray _________________________ Some say "Street is neat".

AntiqueMechanic Registered: 12/02/01 Posts: 7721 Loc: Vancouver, WA	I just took a look at that exhaust system for you. It is a crude repo of the 27 system. If you are serious about a new system I recommend either Parks Pipes for a metal version that is fairly good or Klass Kollection for a stainless steel version. _________________________ RAY Member Chat Group - Non-Geographical Region Chevradioman http://www.vccacolumbiariverregion.org/ If I had known that growing old would be this much fun---I'd have done it sooner!

1928isgreat Registered: 04/21/10 Posts: 937 Loc: Melbourne, Victoria, Australia	May I reccomend stainless steel. My 28 has had 3 exhaust systems in 38 years. The first 2 were mild steel and lasted about 7 years each. The current one is stainless and after about 24 years is still perfect and will outlast me. Sure more expensive up front, but do it once, let the great grand kids worry about it in 50 years time. Cheers Ray _________________________ Some say "Street is neat".

Montythechev Backyard Mechanic Registered: 04/12/11 Posts: 319 Loc: Gippsland, Victoria, Australia	Gidday Fellas, Here are a few photos when I put on a new stainless steel exhaust last year, Rays is testimony to stainless going the distance. http://montythe1928chevrolet.blogspot.com/2011/10/resto-stainless-steel-exhaust-fitted.html http://montythe1928chevrolet.blogspot.com/2011/10/resto-monty-leaves-trafalgar-after.html Car was picked up, dropped off and new system installed for $700.00 - It might not be physically correct but it has a lovely quiet note to it. _________________________ Cheers Grant Why a 28' Chev, well this explains my eagerness / passion http://montythe1928chevrolet.blogspot.com/
