I had a nice surprise when I took my '72 G.T.O. to a local Car-X muffler
franchise last fall. I needed a complete full independent dual system
(i.e. 2 mufflers, no crossover) put it. Needless to say, they had almost
no pre-bent pipes in stock, save for the right rear tailpipe. "No problem,"
they said, "We'll custom-bend the others from straight stock at the same
price. Only thing is, the custom-bent ones are a slightly different material,
but we'll spray a little silver rustoleum [or something] on the stock pipe
to match it." I grumbled a bit but paid the tab. (This place is a good one.)
Nine months later, (as you may have guessed) the right rear pre-bent pipe is
starting to rot; the custom-bent pipes look brand new. The moral is: you
should call around, find a Car-X place that's completely unable to get the
right parts, and go there!
