I am looking for a complete exhaust system for my 1975 with a GM 350 crate motor and 400 trans. In my Corvette Central catalog they are selling a complete system for $629.00. The set-up has Patriot headers, Magnaflow mufflers, etc. Has anyone out there used this system and if so how has it worked out for you? Thanks, Darrell

It could be cheaper and easier to have a shop do it for you. Also a lot less sumina b&^%$es!!

Darrell,

I purchased the same system from Corvette Central last summer. I have a L48 350 with Edelbrock aluminum heads. Everything fit well and I am very satisfied with it.

I've been wanting headers for a while now I'm just afraid of some of the horror stories I hear about installation. Did your's go in easy. Any problems with regular maintenance like spark plug replacement. or oil changes

No problems at all. Because they are "tight-tuck" they take up little room. No maintenance issues, either.
