Default Exhaust system 70 RA IV advise needed

I am helping a friend with the restoration of a 70 RA IV. He is going to need an exhaust system in about six weeks. Who sells a good quality reproduction system? I have seen Gardner, Walron and In-Line all recommended. Thanks in advance for your input.

My vote is for Gardner Exhaust. I installed one of their systems on my 70 GTO years ago and it fit perfect. They are exact copies of the factory systems.

I like the waldron exhaust because he is a true Pontiac person & his exhaust is made right here in MI. Also the exhaust is exact to the factory parts to. He's the one that also has the only VOC systems for your 70 . Thats Vacuum Operated Exhaust.

I put a Gardner on my RAIV judge the fit was very impressive, he is a nice guy as well as having some nice cars of their own which I got to see when I picked the system up there.

For those who got the Gardner, did you get the factory baffled mufflers or get the turbo style?
