For your pictures you need to use the left/right brackets and not the less than/greater than characters.

By sidepipes you mean like this:



I'd feel naken without them.

Check out my signature. I believe someone is putting a group purchase together. Perhaps they will chime in. I spent $924.00 for the header and sidepipes with ceramic coating. The headers came with a installation kit too. I added the STS baffles, get the baffles. If you have cable check out my movie in the signature.

74 vert,

I have cable and clicked through your *mov*. What's the average cost of a dyno on a vette like ours these days?

And... sidepipes are great if you don't like music. :cheers:

I can't help you as far as mounting goes. They were on the car when i got it. Basically i have 2 brackets. 1 mount at about where your feet are, and one mount at about the seat. from their it goes to the motor with no other brackets. I imagine the pipes twist a little with torque but the mounts have rubber grommets so I never hear and creaking or groaning or anything. As far as cosmetics, I will never have a C3 without sidepipes. They're a great conversation piece, and sound really cool. I don't know too much about performance. They are 4" but as far as I understand and H-pipe would make it better.... can't do that with side pipes though.

You can't link to a Geocities image, just give us the link to cut and paste...
