Re: Judges
I have an article in Muscle Car Review from a few years back with a 70 GTO with an "Vacuum Operated Exhaust" option. There was a knob under the dash similar to the Ram Air knob that activated it. When pulled, it opened a baffle in the mufflers and allowed the exhaust to flow like straight pipes. GM cancelled the option after January of 1970 due to fear of the gov't and noise regulations. The article said there were about 100 GTO's built with it. It didn't say if any were Judges. A commercial that ran during the 1970 Superbowl did it in with the GM execs.

Re: Judges
The VOE was not available on Judges or Ram Air. I know there is a factory promo pic showing both but it was not available in production. The VOE moved baffles around that would take the quiet stock exhaust and give it that GTO rumble and not fully open the exhaust. I looked at an NOS set up years ago , very
 option

Re: Judges
I love that old commercial! Very cool cars at that drive in when the kid in the GTO comes rumbling through.

Re: Judges
Those old commercials are great. Turbo, GTO Don used to own a black 70 Judge with a red interior that was column shifted ( chick stick ). There is also a 70 RA IV Judge that has a bench seat running around out there
