1968 El Camino SS Exhaust System Kits

The 1968 El Camino had two different dual exhaust system when GM outfitted these muscle cars. The small block dual exhaust cars received 2 1/2″ head pipes and 2″ tail pipes that exited behind the rear wheels. GM accomplished this by swaging down small section to the front head pipes. The 1968 with the big 396 used 2 1/2″ head pipes and 2 ” tail pipes. Our exhaust system kits on either application come with the correct head pipes with wrinkles and flats and correct tail pipes. The kit will also include correct mufflers logo deleted, correct muffler hangers, clamps, screws, installation instructions, diagrams and sealant. tail pipe hangers are available as well as retainers and strap clamps for reproduction authenticity. Ask about our concourse package to bump up to corded rubber zinc plated hangers, zinc clamps, ceramic coated flanges, retainers and strap clamps.

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 seaman pictured here. This sealant comes as part of any Gardner Exhaust Kit
