79 Buick New Exhaust - Taylor Muffler

[gm4ever]

Pulling into my parents steep driveway I hit the tailpipe and broke the pipe where it went into the resonator. Didn't want to replace the single exhaust, so did a mild upgrade.

Sorry the pics are small....took them with my cell phone, but you'll get the idea. 2-1/4 inch pipes, cat-back, with chrome angle-cut tips. Kept quiet mufflers on it but removed the resonator. Has a nice burble at idle and you can hear it just a tad more when taking off inside the car but for the most part it's still nice and quiet. Looks good too! Taylor does really good work.

Looks great. They really do nice work. Clean bends, and welded joints. That is a good add for your car. What did that system cost you ?

I am going to take the mustang there this fall and get rid of the flowmasters. The mustang has one of the mustang vendor kits - all clamped together. I absolutely hate the flowmaster sound in this car. With the top up a conversation is not possible.
I am going to go with a basic turbo-style muffler for a deeper, more pleasant sound.

The exhaust was $300 even, tax included.

I really like those folks. Really friendly and take their time to do it right, and pricing is fair considering it was all custom bent while I sat there.

I really liked their work, too. They did my '68 Bronco and the work was very nice - top quality all around.

I like it nicely done. I like the positioning of the tips.

I too dislike Flowmaster. I have Dynomax Ultraflow one the 65 and really like it. For turbo mufflers I prefer super turbo. They have a slightly different design.

Should of put glasspacks in it

That has always been on of my favorite Buick body styles. And I maybe one of the only people that think the 78' Rivi was a good looking car. Really like those square body cars from GM.

I have always liked the 77/78 Riviera's too. I still have the 78 Buick brochure the has a nice two-tone cream and gold one. I see one pop up on E-bay from time to time.

Yep I like those Riv's too. They have brushed silver trim on the dash and doors where my 79 Electra has wood, and they also used sharp 3-spoke Buick GS-style steering wheels. Also I believe the Riv's came with the 403 standard...the engine you want in these HEAVY cars.

Such fun!

There is one on E-Bay now.
