AS&M, but corvette runners have a rougher finish. AS&M large to runners have the smooth finish like the f-bodies. But who will know except people who own and service their own vettes.

Stock Corvette runner are no larger then stock Camaro Runners. They are talking about the AS&M large tube runners. They are probably the only "stock" looking larger than stock runners.

The fact that people do not read complete posts amazes me... Let me clearify, stock corvette runners are the same except the exterior only is rough cast and not smooth like the f-body runners. My 91 vette runners are dark, gray and course, my 92 camaro runners are smooth and a lighter gray. Again, idiots like me would know such an asinine fact because I own a vette and an f-body. The AS&M look like the f-body runners, again no fool will know, except for me.

Blak, I was also confused by your post for a second, but then realized that the fact that you brought up corvette runners was due to the fact that saul has "vette" in his name, hence making the logical assumption that he owns a vette, and might want to keep the stock, "grainy and gray" look. Good call on that one, esp if saul is picky on something like that. I can be at times.
