Exhaust kits... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

67chev · 09-16-2004, 03:27 AM

Do any of the vendors here sell a full exhaust kit for these trucks? Looking at a 68 SWB to be exact. I am looking for a complete system from the header on back...including mufflers, hangers, and whatever else is included in there. If no vendors here sell them, does anyone know of where to get a kit?? Any info appreciated.

I bought mine from JC Whitney they have manifold and header kits, included 4 hangers/clamps. Exited behind rear wheels or straight out the back. LMC also has kits.

Have you considered getting a custom sys. bent & installed at any close muffler shops? Thats what I did, and I'm very happy with the results. It was a somewhat spendy but that was the only "con" against all the "pros". Doug

I have yet to hear anything bad about the LMC exhaust...and I HATE giving LMC a good word since they screw everything else up.

from what i understand huck wasn`t too happy with his exhaust kit from lmc..

i found the lmc kit to be very complete and pretty simple to install almost 4years old and no problems,the only problem is that the pieces weren't marked so it was a bit of a jigsaw puzzle.
the main thing to remember when installing it is to have the truck up high with the wheels hanging down(jackstands on the frame not the axel)

I bought my HOOKERS and FLOWMASTERS from SUMMIT and then had a good muffler shop do the custom 3" pipe work......sounds great and didn't cost all that much.

I am needing mandrel bent pipes due to the engine pushing so much exhaust...I doubt that LMC or JC Whitney systems are mandrel bent. I am also not too sure if the local Muffler shops do that either...I think they do it the fastest, easiest way. I may have to call flowmaster and see if they have a system for these trucks...I have heard that they do. If all else fails, I guess I will have to go with a regular system, and just lose a couple horsepower!!

67chev, yes that can sometimes be a problem finding a good shop .... the local shop that did mine has a good reputation (mandrel bends, nice welds) theres some pretty good exhaust info on his website http://www.precisionkelowna.com/
