Anyone running Original exhaust?

I have a 1983 Z-28. 62,000 miles. Just had a tune up- Belts, hoses, thermostat, tires, fluids ..... She still has the original exhaust. I've owned her for 30 years and still find it amazing.

My 1987 Firebird has 14 k miles and the original exhaust. Sounds great.

Jim's Formula Rule Book Amendment #2 - if factory parts remain near car, it counts.

Those dual resonator systems have a great sound in my opinion. I’d install a new one if they were available. Currently have the L69 factory style (replacement).

Re: Anyone running Original exhaust?

My 2000 Ford Excursion Limited 4X4 7.3 Powerstroke Diesel, that I bought NEW, still has it original exhaust. But IT only has 255,000 miles on it!

Of the 51 vehicles I have owned, the Excursion is the BEST!

Re: Anyone running Original exhaust?

Had an 82 with the dual resonator system on it and would buy one today if they offered one. Sounded great.
