John/All, I was looking at the Flowmaster site and found a couple of interesting things. I would have thought that the kits from the engine back to the over-the-axle pipe would be the same and only the extensions (tail pipes) would be different. I put the 17119 kit on my 67 SS and had pipes to either come out behind the rear tire (like factory) or extend to the rear bumper.
I wondered why the 17119 kit was so much less expensive than the 17120 (Elky/Wagon) kit. It seems that ~almost none~ of the pipes or mufflers are the same - not even the pipes going back to the rear axle. The 17119 kit comes with 30 series mufflers (52533) while the 17120 kit comes with 50 series mufflers (52558). The exhaust extension pipes, H-pipe, over-the-axle, everything is different. Is there that much difference between coupe/convertible and Elky/wagon frames that the front half of the exhaust is so different? Guess I just never noticed before. My first thought was the different mufflers made the difference in price. Not so. The 52533 mufflers in the less expensive kit ($299) are almost $30 more EACH (Summit price $109 for the muffler) than the 52558 mufflers in the more expensive ($329) kit (Summit price of $80 for the muffler). For $299 you get mufflers costing $218 and for $329 you get mufflers costing $160. Strange (???).
