sidepipe value
I am thinking of removing the side pipes for an undercar system, I am trying to figure out what to ask for the parts that will be removed. I have a set of covers that are very nice, I would say a good 7-8 out of 10, the moldings I believe are repo's and have been painted but look very good, and the pipes them selves, I have not looked at them for a date but was told by the PO that they are GM but not dated for this car, I believe he said they are dated for the early 70's. Nothing but some surface rust that I can see. Off hand I believe that is all that would be needed but I would include what ever I have that would mount these, meaning the hardware that is holding them onto my car. If everything worked out I would also be able to deliver these to Carlisle. I know I need to verify that the mounting for the undercar are still in place but I think if they are not there we could fab some mounts.
Any thoughts ?

Considering everything you have is used I would say about 50% of new reproduction cost or there abouts.
Pipes - $250
Moldings - $125
Covers - $700 (assuming 7-8 condition)
I think a $800-1000 for everything is fair again assuming the condition of the covers.

Sorry but the valance is staying with the car, I will probably go with an Allen's chambered system and rather than go through the valance I want to have the tails rebent / modified to exit at the rear corners even with the bottom of the valance. I was also considering adding a crossover as I have eliminated the crossover under the intake and it really affected the sound of the exhaust, some have said the crossover will correct the sound.
