About 5 years ago I was able to purchase the complete GM inventory of original side pipe exhaust mufflers. My original intention was to re-distribute, or resell them to Corvette enthusiasts like myself, so that a lot of hobbyist could have the befit of the original, and factory style look, and sound that these units are famous for.
However as everything changes, including our priorities, a few years back I had to sell off the complete inventory. Quite a few resellers, including " Pro-Team " contacted me, but I refused to sell them to anyone other then a hobbyist like myself so that more people could afford, and enjoy, the muffled sound that is only seen with these original pipes.
So they were all sold to a gentlemen out of Chicago by the name of C.S. since he had the intention, and the means to distribute them in a way I had intended to do. Sadly, the more things change, the more they are the same. They have now all been sold to a Corvette reseller and are now advertised for sale in the exact way that had hoped they would not be.
I guess my grandpa was right when he used to tell me the story about the " best laid plans of mice and men " :eyerole
