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

My car has a nice sound in my opinion. I like it. I have had alot of people complement me on the sound. It does have a nice rumble at idle. You were asking about pictures. I didn't like the look of the tailpipes exiting the back and being to short and to low. I cut them just behind the rear tires. Were the bend is. It isn't the stock location but close.

Go with the Pypes system...I just replaced my Flowmaster crossflow kit with the Pypes crossflow kit...better sound, and better performance...

tabooo, you can't compare the Gardner system to the Pypes system because they serve two different purposes. The Gardner system is the best system for concourse stock judging, I installed it on my car and took first place at the Nova Nationals judging. The Pypes system is the best system for performance with stock appearance, I think my ET & MPH improvement prove it.

I still have my Gardner system, it is safely stashed in storage.
