1971 1972 El Camino SS Exhaust System Kits

The 1971 -1972 El Camino had a unique exhaust system that is not available anywhere. This system consisted of 2 1/2″ head pipes and 2 ” tail pipes like a 1970 exhaust system however, these systems also used a transverse muffler as well. We have yet to come up with a orginal system for these cars. Thus far every customer has wanted the 1970 system, and who could blame them. Our kit for these cars will actually be a 1970 kit and will fit and look correct. This kit will come with the correct 2 1/2″ head pipes and 2″ tail pipes it will also include correct mufflers logo deleted, correct muffler hangers, clamps, screws, installation instructions, diagrams and sealant. tail pipe hangers are available as well as retainers and strap clamps for reproduction authenticity.

Sealant

Originally a clear silicon sealant was used in all the joint to joint connections on most exhaust systems. This was referred to as "grease" in the assembly manual but it was a clear sealant like the one pictured here. After analyzing original samples off our pipes and searching incessantly we came up with a match with the sealant pictured here. This sealant comes as part of any Gardner Exhaust Kit
