1969 Chevelle SS / Chambered Exhaust System

This is the quintessential exhaust system of the Muscle Car Era. The chambered systems came standard on your 396 375, and 350 horsepower cars up until November 19th. of 1968 and then became an option until around April 20th of 1969 after which you coud not get this option unless perhaps it was a Canadian car. Our chambered systems have been reproduced from an original and come with the correct 2 1/2″ head pipes with wrinkle bends and flats, correct extensions and donuts, big block flanges, correct 3″ chambered mufflers with correct internals and crimps and correct 2″ tail pipes with correct resonators welded on for chrome extensions.. Our kit comes standard with muffler hangers, all GM clamps, screws installation instructions diagrams and sealant. Our reproduction tail pipe hangers are available and unless you have original or NOS are not an option as Gardner is the only one who reproduces them. Ask about our concourse show package if factory correct is less important than cleanliness and longevity.This system is for those who would rather listen to the growl of the exhaust than the radio.

Sealant

Originally a clear silicon sealant was used in all the joint to joint connections on most exhaust systems. This was referred to as "grease" in the assembly manual but it was a clear sealant like the one pictured here. After analyzing original samples off our pipes and searching incessantly we came up with a match with the sealant pictured here. This sealant comes as part of any Gardner Exhaust Kit
