The Hooker mufflers flow really poorly. A popular (but not cheap) solution is JCL spiral baffles from www.spiralturbobaffles.com .
I also added heat shields from www.cobrastuff.com to reduce that odor of burned flesh.
Hopefully someone lese can chime in on the stock 1969 style sidepipes.

Here's the OEM style. What you see are the chrome covers...you can also get plastic covers. They are available from Eckler's. The actual pipes run along inside the space between the body and the frame. Most States don't allow pipes on the outside of a vehicle, so with this OEM style it isn't against the law. The covers also keep things cool...you can touch the covers and not get burned...you don't want to hold your hands on them cause they are very warm, but just touching them won't burn you. Hiding the actual pipes behind shiny chrome covers also allows you to use chambered mufflers, or whatever you want that sounds good to you. I like the OEM sound myself.
