LS6 complete exhaust system

slimsls6 · #1 01-13-2024, 12:22 AM

hello everyone. I'm thinking about going back to a factory correct exhaust system. Who does everyone recommend ? I heard of Gardner, Inline Tube and a few others. What kind of price from Gardner can I expect? I found other's on the web. I need everything from exhaust manifold back. TIA

Just did a full Gardner system for my Camaro. Figure $2K depending on shipping costs to your location. Excellent system.

I have Gardner system in my car that was installed by the previous owner and really like it because it sounds nice and quiet.

If I was to buy a system I would consider these other options as well due to price:

Slim,do you plan on having your LS-6 Judged in the future?
If so,opt for a Gardner system.

----Gardner systms will fit on your car perfectly. No even small changes necessary. I have never installed anyone elses exhausts that can make that claim......Bill S

Hi Mr.70, I have no idea if I'll ever have it judged. The car is so original and the exhaust on the car was installed by a muffler shop over 20+ years ago and isn't the nicest looking system. This is one of the last major things that isn't correct and to me hurts the value. I think the car deserves a correct system, just not sure who all is making the system accurate. Thanks sorry for the sideways photos

I put a Gardener system on my car from the manifold out in 1995. The fit was perfect and never any issues. Go with a Gardener system.

Go with the Gardner. You won't be sorry. Sounds great. Looks great. Installs perfectly. I negotiated a Gardner exhaust system when I purchased my 70 cuda....Joe

I installed a Gardener system on a '67 Chevelle earlier this week. Fit is perfect.
Only way it could be better is if the mufflers were already welded to the head pipes like OEM. - Bill W

Thanks everyone for you're responses. After debating on the different systems I decided to go with Gardner for the ole girl. The only thing going to bug me is the system is going to be brand new while the rest of the car is old and original, may look funny. But hey it's an LS6
