I think every car should have sidepipes. My wife's 69 has them and I hope to put them on my 67 soon...even though it seems I have the last C-2 without them. I would even consider a Stutz Blackhawk because of the side exhaust...If it was good enough for Elvis??? Besides I would never need anyone to "pimp my ride". Alex

All C3s look good with side pipes, and sound better also.

Default I have them and like them

Mine are the original factory ones. I bought them years ago when they were relatively cheap. I love the look.

My "alls" opinion is that sidepipes look and sound much better than stock. I have other strong opinions about the english language.

The C2 and C3 were designed for them. Most cars can't mount them in without having to worry about hitting the curb at the bank or Wendy's drive-thru. Not a concern for me!!
