My local exhaust guy hooked me up again. I brought my old beater '72 into him with open headers and I brought in some used V-Force mufflers that I had on my last truck, and then I left with an awesome sounding exhaust.

The headers were from my '79 K20. The driver side went on with no problems. The passenger side needed the front tube (#2 cylinder) dented just a bit to clear the motor mount. It didn't bother me to dent the tube since they were used and I wouldn't have to buy new ones then. He used 2 1/2" pipe up to the mufflers, then 2 1/4" for the tailpipes. All pipe is aluminized, and the exhaust is fully welded from front to rear, including to the collector. I don't like leaks, and this is a real good fix. I wish I would have brought my camera to get pics when it was up on the rack, but I forgot about it, so I did my best by sticking the camera under there and taking pics. It looks way cooler than what the pics show.
