Exhaust kit company suggestion

[Smithboys69]

Hello I am looking for suggestions for best concourse exhaust kits available for a 69 b body with the 383 engine? I look at Gardner exhaust and like what I see but no prices online. I look at accurate exhaust also. Looks good but not sure of best company is worth looking at. Suggestions and reviews by experience?

ECS#1 for top of the line dead nuts. IMO

I lent ECS my original OE headpipes back in 2016 so that they could exactly duplicate the 383 system to add to their product line. After David passed away his wife sold off the exhaust side to ECS Exhaust

Here's some pictures start to finish...

Wow. That’s interesting. That’s a great share to ECS. Thanks for posting those pics. I always wondered how you would capture the bends perfectly. And get it to bolt up at the flanges. That looks great

It doesn’t get any better than that !

TTI exhaust- take it out of the box- bolt it on- fits perfect- your done.

You missed his "concours" request. TTI is not so...

ECS or Accurate, as stated. Here is an article on an Accurate installation.

I have Gardners on two cars. 67 R/T 440 and a 69 Camaro 350 SS. They sweat the small stuff. Not cheap but it’s one of the best for day 1 exhaust.

I’m liking the Gardner systems

You might want to check shipping costs in comparison of the different suppliers. Shipping an entire exhaust system is expensive.

Agreed, however sometimes the extra cost is well worth the craftsmanship of parts.

I had accurate on my ‘69 Sport Satellite. Excellent quality and fit, sounded good too!

Yes, and the Gardner system does not appear so, either.

I can vouch for Accurate, and ECS is well-known in our circles.

I checked out ECS website. I have to admit the parts look impressive also. They don't list a kit for installation that I saw, only individual parts. I simply inquired of them for a quote to see what the outcome would be for a full kit to do the car from the manifolds back. I'm not ready for anything yet just researching companies of interest.

When I did mine ECS didn't sell clamps or straps. I had to source the OE correct ones from Frank Badalson Home - Roger Gibson . A few years later ECS brought in all the correct clamps and straps, but YOU need to do your homework as to what is OE correct to meet the concours desire.
