i know this things a choker but i want to keep the car stock........does anyone know if they are still available?

 

Everyone I have talked to say no. What you will have to do is go to a good exhaust/muffler shop and have them custom make a new one.

what did you do phil?? your car is a lg4 1983 and it has the same muffler?

 

I haven't replaced it yet. I will probably go with the Dynomax Catback:

It looks like an 83 HO, and an 84 stock muffler. I do try to keep the car pretty much stock. But, right now I can't justify the cost of a custom exhaust that is more restrictive than a $170 replacement. But, I will probably either keep the old one, or take a lot of pictures of it, in case I really want to pay someone later to fabricate a copy of it.

ive seen an iroc with dyomax and looks dam near stock

 

all of the cat back systems start with 1983...no 1982 ...i woder why?

 

i wonder why?....sorry. phil i had my eye on the dynomax as well. mine is still hanging in there. phil post a pic of your car,,would love to see it.

 

They start with 83 because 82 was the only year that had the bead type Catalytic Converter. If you have that converter I would highly recommend buying a direct fit Catco for an 83 which would flow much better. Because I am sure the Y-pipes are the same between 82 and 83. Then you can go with the dynomax catback for 83.

Here is my car. Ordered it new in 83. Needs a paint job but runs like a dream.

 

shes a classic....love that color and its getting very rare.....did the bushings make a big difference?

 

Yes, the ES end-links made a noticable difference and are cheap and easy to install. My front end-link rubber was cracked. I still have the original bushings all around. They seem to be still in good shape.
