    I ordered the N25 exhaust system for my 71 GS and the guys over at Gardner are a class act. The way the system was strategically packed, individually wrapped and safely delivered is a true testament to the way they do business. The paperwork included a survey with a self addressed envelope for feedback and they also included a beer glass with the Gardner logo affixed... I just read the installation guide and can't wait to install it.

    Nick from Ivyland Collision is completing the car and will deliver it back to me here in Jersey in a few weeks.. Pics to follow..

    I'm pumped..

    Lets see the photos of Gardners exhaust system prior to the installation. Good luck with the installation and also let us know how it sounds!

    Will do George, I'll lay it all out on the floor before install and send the pics. The installation guide suggests to leave all the plastic wrap on the pipes for installation and cut it all off when through. It limits scuffing the bottom of the car. Never would of thought of that.

    How much $$$$ was the system, did it include mufflers? If so stock??
    Also what size are the pipes?

    Tom and Eric do a great job and the quality of their exhaust systems speak for themselves. Plus,their exhaust systems sound great!!!!!

    Tim,

    This exhaust system is stock down to the hangers, hardware and pipes. I looked more closely today at the contents of the two delivered boxes and they affixed stickers to everything to include the mufflers to insure you have the correct side up to ensure it cannot get screwed up! The Gardner folks virtually took the guess work out of the installation. My N25 system has the optional concourse package (recommended) and everything else to include head pipes, mufflers, rear axle pipes and a tube of silicone to assist in assembly. This is NOT the performance package they sell for non N25 cars with bigger diameter pipes but an entire stock system that is an exact replica to the original system. The only thing I did not order was the two N25 hangers that I already purchased through Dave Kleiner of GS Enterprises.

    Let me measure the pipe size and I'll let you know. I think the head pipes are 2 1/2 " and the tail pipes are 2 1/4. (I could be wrong)

    Total cost shipped to my door from NY State to northern NJ - $900 bucks.
