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.

Re: Anyone running Original exhaust?
I am running a 100% original exhaust system, but not original to my '83 Firebird. It came from a '84 L-69 Z-28...

Re: Anyone running Original exhaust?
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).

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!

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