Default Would I be "Bubba" if...

...I drilled and tapped holes in my frame to mount my side pipes? :confused:

Perhaps somebody with the Hooker Side pipes could post pictures of how and where they mount to the car?

Thanks!
:cheers:

Are you kidding? That is not even nearly a Bubba. Now, if your sidepipes are made out of beer cans and you attach them to the frame....

John, you should have gotten "T" headed bolts with the sidepipes. The head or "T" goes into the slots in the side of the frame. The bolts attach to the tabs on the side of the sidepipes. You can then attach the rubber isolators which will keep them from rattling and from transmitting noise into the interior. Did you get the sidepipes used? Charles

I am making my own side pipes. They are going to be a modified version of Corvette Forum member Wrenchers design. I'll be posting pics as soon as I get them on the car.

If you also drilled holes in the pipes and held them on with bailing wire you would get my vote for Bubba. :jester

10-4 John. Saw the name Hooker mentioned and thought that was what you were running. Charles
