1969 Oldsmobile 442 and Hurst Olds Exhaust System

Our reproduction exhaust system for these cars comes with the correct head pipes, flanges, tail pipes with correct welded on trumpets and wrinkle bends! (W-31 cars used a similar exhaust system, however the tail pipes juts turned down and were cut at an angle no tip was welded on) The kit also includes correct mufflers, installation instructions, diagrams, sealant, clamps and correct front hangers. Our reproduction tail pipe hangers are available. . Ask about our concours show pkg. for those of us when original is not good enough.

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
