In May of 2016 when I was looking for OEM correct exhaust for my '69 x 383 Bee.. and nobody appeared to make one... I had sent email inquires to Accurate, whom would do nothing by email, and Tom in sales at ECS. Tom passed me onto David Walden at ECS who called me up and made me the offer of a lifetime. "If you are positive that your head pipes are original, send them down to us at our expense and I'll have Steve duplicate them for you for free". Didn't take me long to get them into a box my frame rails had come packaged in, along with my old tailpipes and they were on FedEx the next day to the good 'ol USA.

Steve duplicated them EXACTLY and of course made jigs to duplicate them for any future customers. I was shipped my original pipes back, along with brand new head pipes and tail pipes at no cost. I did have to pay for date coded and pentastar correct "licenced" mufflers to complete the set.

Correct clamps and muffler hangers I had to source from Frank Badalson and the HP exhaust manifold bolt/nut kit, as well as manifold to head pipe bolts/nuts from Greg at PartsMix.

Pics to show they don't fit any better than these.

So if you're looking for a factory correct exhaust, send Tom an email at ECS to inquire. Tell him Wayne sent you..

looks very nice underneath!

In relation to the piping one cannot go wrong with either Gardner or ECS....When it comes to mufflers for date code and pentstar ECS is the only choice...

ECS mufflers are on my X and they are flawless in every way and fit perfectly. The Exhaust piping on the X is Gardner and that too fit flawlessly with the factory looks, flat spots and bends as well...

Congrats on the system and you were in the right hands to get that made correctly....
