Guest Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 I'm getting ready to run dual exhaust on my 71 Monte and I want it to look like the SS. My question.....does the exhausts exit straight out the back or do they have a little downward bend coming out under the rear bumper??? If anyone has any pis of a stock 71 SS exhaust from behind, send me some pics or point me to their sire Thanks Mike ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~` Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
montefrazer Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 SS had chrome exhaust tips straight out the back, here is a link with a picture. http://www.firstgenmc.com/tech/ss454.shtml Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NateZ Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 You can get the original GM exhaust extensions or reproductions. The only difference I know of between the two is that the repros don't have the GM part number on them. The metal on the originals might be better (U.S. vs overseas) quality. Price difference is pretty substantial too. Figure about $150 or more for a set of the originals and about half that for a set of the repros. Let me know if you want to know where to buy the originals. Most places sell the repros. They're also the same extensions as used on the '70 Chevelle SS, so you can also find them on Chevelle parts sites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NateZ Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 That'll work perfectly. The extensions, whether original or repro are 2-1/2" in diameter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 Thanks ..!!! I'll start looking for one or the other. Where do I get the originals and the repros?? Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NateZ Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 The repros can be had most anywhere for about $50 per pair. Again, look under '70 Chevelle exhaust extensions if you don't see a Monte Carlo section on one of these websites: National Parts Depot http://www.npdlink.com Harmon's http://www.harmons.com Year One http://www.yearone.com OPGI http://www.opgi.com True Connections http://www.true-connections.com Lutty's Chevy http://www.luttyschevy.com And there are other places you can try by visiting the "parts" section of this website: http://www.firstgenmc.com/parts.shtml As for the original extensions, I know for sure that you can get them from Lutty's Chevy that I listed above (part number 0958). Their current catalog lists them at $92 per pair, but I know that their price has gone up to, I think, about $150 per pair. You can also try Ebay as they pop up there from time to time as well.
