Restoring the Exhaust on Classic C10 and C1500 Trucks from 1980 to 1987
The BRExhaust 106-0705 is a direct-fit exhaust system kit built to restore the factory exhaust on 1980 to 1987 Chevrolet and GMC C10, C1500, C20, R10, R1500, and R20 trucks. Manufactured by MagnaFlow under the BRExhaust brand, this kit is built to OEM-matching dimensions and uses factory-style connection geometry so it installs to the existing hanger locations and pipe connection points without any cutting, welding, or modification. Finding a quality bolt-in exhaust replacement for square body trucks is increasingly difficult as the vehicles age. The 106-0705 solves that problem with a properly dimensioned, properly fitted OEM-style replacement from a manufacturer that has built exhaust systems in the USA since 1981.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the BRExhaust 106-0705 fit both Chevrolet and GMC square body trucks?Yes. The 106-0705 is designed for 1980 to 1987 Chevrolet and GMC C10, C1500, C20, R10, R1500, and R20 trucks. These platforms share the same exhaust architecture across Chevrolet and GMC variants in this generation.
Will the 106-0705 require any cutting or welding to install on a 1980 to 1987 C10?No. The 106-0705 is a direct-fit replacement that uses the factory hanger locations and connection geometry. No cutting, welding, or modification is required for a standard installation on an unmodified truck.
Are rubber exhaust hangers included with the 106-0705?The kit includes clamps for the pipe connections. Inspect the existing rubber hangers before installation and replace any that are cracked, collapsed, or missing. The 106-0705 mounts to the factory hanger locations.
What engine sizes does the 106-0705 fit on the C10 and C1500?Verify engine-specific fitment for your truck before ordering. Square body C10 and C1500 trucks were produced with multiple engine options across the 1980 to 1987 production run. Contact us or MagnaFlow directly with your engine size to confirm the 106-0705 is the correct application.
Is the BRExhaust 106-0705 a full exhaust system or a section replacement?The 106-0705 is a direct-fit replacement exhaust system kit. Verify the section coverage with the product dimensions to confirm it matches the section you need to replace on your specific truck configuration.

Can the 106-0705 be used on a lifted or modified square body truck?The 106-0705 is designed as a direct-fit OEM replacement. If the truck has been lifted, has a different exhaust routing from modifications, or uses a non-stock engine placement, verify clearances and connection points before ordering.
How difficult is it to find replacement exhaust for 1980 to 1987 C10 trucks?OEM-quality direct-fit exhaust replacement for square body trucks becomes increasingly scarce as the vehicles age. The BRExhaust 106-0705 is one of the few currently available direct-fit options for this generation, offering proper fitment without the need for custom pipe bending or fabrication.
Installation Notes
- Allow the exhaust system to cool completely before beginning any removal work.
- Spray all OEM clamps, hanger hardware, and connection points with penetrating oil and allow to soak thoroughly before attempting removal.
- Remove the old section by disconnecting all clamps and disengaging pipe from rubber hangers.
- Compare the 106-0705 against the removed section to verify routing and pipe diameters match your truck.
- Engage all rubber hangers before tightening any clamps so the system hangs at the correct angle.
- Tighten all clamps evenly and inspect all connection points for exhaust leaks after starting the engine.
