Anyone have experience with these? There is no room in the budget for a full Gardner system and my down pipes/mid pipes are actually decent. https://www.thepartsplaceinc.com/pr...tail-pipes-only-for-a-car-with-n25-tips/72519
I run the whole American Thunder 2-1/2" system. It's aluminized. This listing says free shipping and make offer, so offer $170 like the other guy... Free shipping too. https://www.ebay.com/itm/1834550981...EcNVg3TRSm&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
Thanks Mart, if I decide to go with an entire new system I will keep that in mind. You were able to get them to fit your n25 fairly easily? I do need new mufflers so it could be a good option.
It's been years since I bought the whole system from Ramchargers. Abt $300 with long case 3 chamber muffs. Great price yrs ago. They fit well, that Amer. Thunder system gives you both tailpipe options, N25 or standard downturn. 2-1/2" Aluminized mandrel bent, holding up well... may have different muffs now?, idk.
I need to do the tips , looking at how the ones on mine now are welded, I’m likely in same boat, please let me know which option you do.
I just ordered the tips in the first post and bought 2 replacement mufflers based off post #9 in this thread: https://www.v8buick.com/index.php?threads/1970-buick-gs-455-stock-mufflers.298860/ https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001AGKZEE?psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&ref_=chk_typ_imgToDp Walker Exhaust SoundFX Universal 17846 Universal Exhaust Muffler I actually had to buy 1 muffler from amazon, and 1 from walmart. I chose to go with just the tips and mufflers because my down pipe/mid pipes are crusty, but solid. I have my original N25 tips to compare with the TPP repros. I do have concerns about the mufflers. They should be the correct 2 1/4" inlet/2" outlet, but the outlet is centered on my current tips, and the replacements I bought are offset. I will post up pics when I get everything installed.
Assuming the tail pipe pictured is an original, I think it’s a decent reproduction. Not mandrel and not perfect, but should be serviceable. Total cost was 230 shipped. I should have them installed in a few weeks.
Closing the loop here for now. Overall I think it’s a solid part for the price point. I didn’t spend much time adjusting it. When I get the car on a 4 post lift I can tuck it in more, but think it fits well. I wish I got a center outlet muffler. The right side exhaust is 100% original (except muffler) so it makes for a good comparison
That Flowmaster system is designed for the N25 exhaust option. 2-1/2" mandrel bent, Aluminized, and I believe they sell just the tailpipes separately. I know the tailpipe needs to be tucked close to frame for tire clearance.
