Hi, I'm Tom & I see we're almost neighbors. I'm in lower westchester county.

How fast do you want a stk system? I'm in the process of buying headers for my 90 and if you are not in a hurry maybe we can work a deal & help each other out. Don't get me wrong my 90 has 30K on it's system but it is intact and no holes anywhere & the mufflers are in good shape. The resonator looks good also.

Anyhow this isn't gonna happen like yesterday....I'm still in the "parts selection & collection" stage of this project. For me I was thinking that my header install would be this winter's project....ya know with the exhaust out of the way there are a few things at the rear that I have my eye on looking into...

Hi Tom, That sounds great. Thanks. I am not in a hurry at all, the system probably wont even be put on the car I just want to have an original too just in case. I like things original. The guy I bought the car from was a perfectionist but he didnt have the stock exhaust, and its the only missing piece. Keep me up to date and let me know how your making out. Thanks alot.

Check with Jim VanDorn at Automasters in Bowling Green. He had some up for sale on eBay last year, maybe he still has some left.

Hi Mike & welcome to the Brotherhood!

I'll keep you in the loop......mine is driven so I will not need my exh after the header install....whenever that project goes forward. I'll let you know when I know what and when with the old exh sys.

Hi Mike: I have the stock system from my 90. It was changed to borla with very low mileage! I'm in CA.

Just a thought but you might check with the Vette Drs as they are local, and may have a take-off system laying around?

When Tom says the resonator looks good, he is almost certainly referring only to the condition.

The actual shape/design of the resonator totally sucks. It looks like the nozzle on a rocket engine, it necks down into the resonator like crazy!
