Default Header/Sidepipes

Would like to put header/sidepipes on my 71 coupe. Looking for suggestions as to where the best deal might be/Hookers or Dougs/what is better-stainless or chrome?

I have a set of Doug's ceramic coated pipes on mine and I love them, the fit out of the box was perfect which made the installation almost painless. I got mine at Summit but shop around for the best price.

Great looking car! That's what I'm looking for. I take mine to shows a couple times a month & I have not seen anyone w/sidepipes on their C-3.

Are the chrome pipes hard to keep looking good? Someone mentioned they may start to turn blue like you would sometimes see on a motorcycle.

I'm going to be selling a set of headers and side pipes in the next two weeks - they have less than 600 miles on them. If interested PM me and I'll send you some pics of what they looked like on my car. I am swapping them out for rear exhaust, car is at shop now getting it done.
