In 1966 all GTO’s (manual and automatic) received the resonators at the end of the tailpipe.
Gardner’s resonators are almost dead on to factory, plus the expanded end of the tailpipe mates perfectly to the resonators.
I had a pair of NOS resonators in my stash which I elected to use on my ‘66.
Thanks, Chris Terry.

I agree the systems are spot on, fit like a glove, and eric is easy to deal with.
On a side note...
The 66 GTO system did you enhance the weld on the gardner resonator? The weld appears aluminized or coated in the comparison photo VS the on the car shot appears as fresh Heat bluing from a weld.
I ask because as original Camaro chambered systems had the pass exiting tailpipe welded to the chambered pipe... I do the same. I was going to rub some silver paint into the weld, however the NOS piece you have has a very prominent weld showing and makes me wonder whether I should leave the "fresh" weld with heat bluing etc.
