I've put them on my 78 SA. They are a little loud when you get on it, love the sound.
Thanks Eddie for the info......

Might give them a try. The price seems OK.

........I'm not trying to be negative, but sometimes when ya' start messin' with "extra" stuff on yer vette, it could open up a "can of worms." Just my 2 cents........I'll shut up for a little while, ok?

I thought the twin tips were 2 loud and hung awkward for my taste. (JAO)
I have the DynoMax & the Stainless tips on mine. (same page) Soundz just fine.
I don't care for the loud stuff anymore. I'd rather listen to my baby or the radio.
However, they have been on for about 5 yrs. now and are startin to get louder on the open road and annoy me.

Bought a set for my 80 back in the 80s and they had a nice sound to them. weren't real loud...oh yea...sold for $99.00 back then. The 80 I have now is my third 80.
My 78 has real time dual exhaust....no cats and big round trash cans for mufflers w/ one hanging low...get the picture fellas.
Achem....well, back to the subject ....the car sounds great at idle (performance cam of some sort). I get that "rump-rump" at the gas station and people look....
. At driving speed they are nice and quiet but sound slightly "tinny" on down throttle.
