1976 Stingray Side Pipes Exhaust Vs. Factory Rear
Another newbie question was thinking about adding the side pipe DINOMAX exhaust to the Vette instead of the rear orginal equipment what are you guys thoughts on that? I think it would look alot better? Was wondering if there was anything special that needed to be done and how much of a pain it was? Looks like its going to cost $350-$500 I think???Thanks in advance...

I think you meant Dynomax side pipes, IMHO, if you are going to add side exhaust, go all the way and add Hooker Side mount headers.
|
thanks for the reply scott any idea how much about?? I been checking around and now wondering if side is possible most venders only show till 74'??
|
Depends upon your flavor, Black headers are cheapest along with black pipes starting at around $850.

Catalytic converters are used on '75 and up. That is why dual exhaust is only listed for '74 down. Legally you can't put side exhaust on a '75 up, unless it is for off-road use only....
That explains the 74' then..thanks.. so my next question is how many cops in the world are going to know that side exahaust is illegal on my 76' and is the risk worth the reward? $1000 in a something I may not be able to use??? |
Cops don't care, do you have to get your car smog checked on a yearly or bi-yearly basis, or is it exempt due to it's age. If it's exempt, you are good to go.

....and to rip the catlyst sticker off the fan shroud if there is one....

The only reasons not to do this are money and hot pipes that burn the legs of your lady friends. Seriously, think about who is getting in/out besides you. BTW, my 76 has Hookers and I love them! I'm not subject to any sort of visual or sniffer inspections here in SW Wisconsin.

My bad

He doesn't know Corvettes. It's on the cowl, not the fan shroud.

NY Emissions
I'm also in NY State. The followg is copied from the NY DMV site, so it looks like you' re exempt. :hurray:
These motor vehicles are exempt from emissions inspection for gas-powered vehicles: * Vehicles that are less than two model years old, or more than 25 model years old (for example, a 1975 model in 2001). |
Sweet..

These are the only sidepipes that don't tacky up the car.
I get plenty of compliments on them from other Corvette people at shows anyway. |
