Timevalve 304SS Exhaust?
Anyone around here purchased a 'timevalve stainless exhaust system'? I'm in need of a new exhaust system, and would love to never have to do it again

I have heard many good comments about timevalve but I think one could have a high quality SS custom system built for much less as they are very expensive.

I have done three and they have all fit reasonably well. I didn't keep any of the cars long enough to test the longevity. They do look and sound different from stock. If you can press your dealer for 20% off list, you may come very close to Timevalve when you factor in shipping.

I bought complete SS system twice with Timevalve. One for my 1983 SD and one for a friend's '85 SD. About $400 each 5 years ago.
My son recently crashed my '83 and I removed the SS to use on my next SD. The exhaust still look like new except for some road dirt splattered on it. Instead of another SD, I bought an SDL. Soon after, the SDL needed a flexible header pipe. I took flexible SS header and welded to the rest of the stock pipe. Yes the SS and stock pipe are exact dinension-wise, so no problems. My SDL's half SS and half stock exhaust sounds sweet!!! The SS kidney and muffler saved until my next SD.
