HeartThrob exhaust?

Anybody have comments pro & con about complete exhaust systems from HeartThrob? Can't beat the price, and they were very responsive answering my questions.

Re: HeartThrob exhaust?

I had dual Heart Throb exhaust with glass packs on my old 81 K5, sounded pretty nice but wasn't overly loud. Fitment wasn't perfect, tail pipes hung a little low but that was easily fixed.

Thanks for the response. Never installed a system that didn't need some tweaking, except for 100% stock replacement single exhaust.

I'm wondering about mufflers, too. They sell their kits with no mufflers, glass packs, or "stock". Mike Forbes at HeartThrob says they make their own stock mufflers (seam locked, 17” body length, double wrapped aluminized shell, 2” cores inside). His customers tell him they're a little louder than OE mufflers. A pair adds $69 to the no-muffler price. At my age, I'm done with exhaust drone in the cabin, but would like something with just a little rumble out the back.
