Never realized there was a control inside the car to open up the headers. The sound from that engine is magnificent. Can any of the mechanical wizards confirm that this header control was in fact an option on the 1970 GTO?

It`s a valve in the muffler that opens and closes, not the headers, and yes, it was an option in `70 only I believe.

Interesting, you learn something new every day.........The commercial is cool when the driver opens 'er up.

Ill research it, but I thought it was an option for a couple of years, and then GM stopped it, or even was told to stop production of the VOE mufflers. I thought someone purchased a pre 70 vehicle 69? maybe and it came through with one on it. Ohwell, heard something like that. Yea, she does sound cool when he pulls the knob

That would have been cool on new gen models.

The infamous and rare VOE exhaust option was only offered a few months on 1970 GTO's before it was pulled by Pontiac because of tightening smog regulations. This recreation of the VOE exhaust was originally hand engineered by a guy on PY forum and then his design was carried forward by a large exhaust manufacture. If you want to read this very cool thread on his development of it see the link below.

I scored a exhaust kit off e-bay with the splitters. It fit excellent. The mufflers are too tame and I need to call them back on monday to get them swapped out, but overall, a nice system. The reproduction tips seem a bit thin, but I`ve never seen a real set so I don`t know if they look right or not. But they look good on the car!

Already installed? They look sick Rukee, I see you really do treasure your car and keep it nice and clean for any event. Good man!

Rukee · 06-28-2008, 08:05 PM

Thanks, yeah, I`m pretty anal about it.

I called the place and have new mufflers coming. They should be here by friday, I hope. They told me they will sound much better then the ones I have. Good deal! A GTO needs to sound like a GTO, not a Park Avenue.
Even with upgradeing the mufflers, I`m still into the whole system for under $350.00, and that`s with the splitter tips.
