Contact Brian at Corvette Specialties of Maryland West, I have bought 2 sets of covers thru them.

I am in the same boat. I have a set of stock covers but my 63 has I think 3” patriot pipes and are too big for the stock covers so I want to track down some cheap pipes/baffles.

I support purchases from Long Island Corvette Supply. They make so many of the parts we use and other Dealers just rebrand. If LICS ever folded we would suffer a great loss! Al W.

I would like to try to do it with my 3 inch patriot pipes but when I pulled the aftermarket heat shields off it didn’t appear that there would be room because of where the pipe bands to go into the engine compartment .
