Default [side pipes] It sucks being on a budget

I found these on e-bay.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/aw-cg...item=600755407

It seems like a great buy. I wish I had a few extra $100 bills laying around because I would ****** these up in a heartbeat.

If somebody would like to make a donation to the JohnS_77 Side Pipe Fund, please e-mail me for my address!

Come on John go for it, I'll throw in a couple of bucks. Maybe you'll win the 50/50 drawing at the vette club meeting next Monday. Maybe we could start a bottle collection for extra funds. :jester :jester :jester

Yeah, I saw those, too. I expect they're going to go for more than they're worth--I've been looking for sidepipes on ebay for a couple months now, and hooker headers and pipes always get a lot of bids. Those look kid of rough and rusty to me. I do wonder if there would be a fit problem for a C3 as well, since they came off of a midyear.

Lets see... Right now they are at $202.50. 20 nickels in a dollar. 4050 bottles would get me there, minus the ~$30 I might be able to win in the 50/50...... OK so I am looking at about 3500 bottles....

Yes I have WAY too much time on my hands

John, I've got a set of 1 5/8" Flowtech headers if your interested. I'm trying to remember if I used them one or two summers before switching to my Hookers. Let me know. You wouldn't have to find as many bottles and we could work within that budget. Rod :cheers:

They are up to $275 now. Not a bad price, and with a little bit of work I bet they would look great. :cheers:

JohnS_77. I bought a new set last fall from Summit at $750.00. (black) Put in another $750.00 for show quality chrome. The $275.00 is not a bad price, but the mufflers are not worth beans. Can't tell whether they are glass packs or reverse flows, but...... JCL :cool: :cool: :chevy "Sidepipes are the way"
