1970 nova L78 - flowmaster exhaust
 
Has anyone installed a complete flowmaster exhaust system with a crossflow muffler and that exits where the originals
exited.Online it looks like the system exits at the rear bumper https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/confused.gifThanks Bob

I have it on my 68 L78 nova. I cut it just behind the rear tires. It sound's nice. If you leave it alone with no modifications, it will look just like the camaro exsaust. Exiting just short of the rear bumper.

Go with a Pypes system, no cutting required, no obnoxious noise, sounds good under throttle, and will improve your performance.

LOL...Marlin shocked himself with his new exhaust by knocking about a second off his 1/4 mile time. It no longer sounds like grannys car.

Canuck-Installed this system and am in love with the fit. Can hardly see it. BUT I do not like the sound. Very loud and alot of resonance. Sounds nice at a cruise but shakes the windows in the garage at idle. I have heard this from others as well with this system. maybe you would get a better sound with the BBC.

I have listened to BB Bennys L78 nova with the Garders system and that car sounds sweet. Looks great also!

I wanted the stock look, so yes I had them add the polished tailpipes which are round and angle cut. Looks perfectly stock!!
