Here is a set of production VOE (Vacuum Operated Exhaust) muffers intalled on a car. Joe Tonietto, President of Waldron's Antique Exhaust, has been working with Tom Hand to bring the VOE muffler system back to the marketplace. They even have the control kit in case they are being installed in cars that were not originally equipped with this option.Waldron's Antique Exhaust PO Box C 25872 M-86 Nottawa, MI 49075 Tel: (269) 467-7185 Toll free (US): (800) 503-9428 Fax: (269) 467-9041 www.waldronexhaust.com CLICK->

Roger Wydler owns this Atoll Blue 1970 Ram Air IV GTO hardtop. It has undergone a full restoration. Roger tells us, "The GTO was purchased from Delaware back in 1997 for $8500 dollars and received another $43,000 during the restoration which included all NOS chrome, NOS front fenders, quarter panels, trunk lid, front and rear valance, and rear bumper. Every light and lens on the GTO is also NOS GM." Roger says this car had the ultra rare Vacuum Operated Exhaust (VOE) dealer installed.CLICK->

Atoll Blue 1970 GTO hardtop, interior view. I see the Ram Air knob under the steering wheel. The Vacuum Operated Exhaust (VOE) option should have a knob next to it. Roger still has the entire VOE setup including the original mufflers! He is currently restoring the system and will re-install it soon. For mufflers he plans to use either Flowmaster Super 40s or Tom Hand's VOE muffler recreations.CLICK->

This is an original Vacuum Actuated Exhaust (VOE Tiger button car) optioned 1970 GTO hardtop with the invoice! It is a bit small but readable. The only thing left on the GTO from the VOE option is its vacuum canister attached to the inner fender. PHS came back as Polar White with Black cordova top, dark brown buckets, console, 400 350hp engine, automatic transmission, 3.55 Saf-T-Track rear end, G70-14 white letter tires, remote mirror, hood tach, power steering, power disc brakes, Soft Ray windshield, ride and handling, decor group (Deluxe wheel covers and wheel opening moldings), AM radio, rally gauge cluster, and the all-important Driver Controlled Exhaust. You can see this option on the last line on the right. It is called out as DR CONT EXH option 611 and it only cost $63.15CLICK-> 
Al Rosell sends us pictures of his friend Kurt's triple black 1970 GTO convertible. Al tells us, "It had a frame off restoration, power steering, power brakes, air conditioning, tilt wheel, power top, cruise control, 350 auto. We work on a lot of GTOs at Rosell's Citgo in River Vale, New Jersey. All of my customers call us "GTO Underground". I may start a new business."CLICK->
