Default 69 Factory side pipes question

Where is the best place to get em?? the aluminum chrome covers i mean...not the fiberglass ones i see everyone have for sale. i've seen these chrome covers in Corvette Central for $2300!!!! do i really have to spend this much or is there another route or place to buy?

Prsonally I'd avoid corvette Central, I like Zip or ecklers better, my experience anyway.

But the price sounds like the going price :U

I have them on my 72. They came with the car (purchased in 72 from the dealer)

I have ben told that Corv. Central has the best combo price available (muff and covers).

You may also want to check eBay. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=2427217284

These are used, but you can get repl. mufflers for about 400.00

I believe that Paragon is the company that actually makes them. They're costly...well over 2K. Chuck

That's why so many use the fiberglass ones.
