82 Z28 Muffler/Resonator Assy

The muffler/resonator assy on my 82 is about gone. I want to stay stock. Does anyone know a place to buy the assy? Note: 82 and 83 crossfire cars came with a pair of small muffler/resonators.

I have those on my 83TA and now that they're nearly shot so I'm changing to headers and a cat-back.

This is what I was told about replacing the stock system because somebody thought that's what I wanted to do:

1. None of the parts shops contacted had anything for that system;

2. GM might have it but they are only obliged to keep parts for ten years.

So, you may have to go to a dealer and bend over if you want to stay stock.

Also, the stock system is really crap. When the intermediate goes over the axle it splits into two pipes that are both really narrow. This can't be good and there are other defects as well.

So forget stock; this is the time to put a good aftermarket system on your car and it will probably be cheaper than buying the stock system from GM.
