anybody have patriot sidepipes on their vette if so can i see pics?

 

Here is a set of patriot pipes on my 69 vert.

 

did you have to notch the covers?

 

i did notch the side panels alittle to get it the way i like

 

do you have any closeups of the notching

 

No sorry i dont

 

No I did not notch the rocker panels. This was an original side pipe car and the fender has the factory notches. Someone took the pipes off before I got the car. I got the car from Pro-Team and I think they did it and put a 74 style under car exhaust on it. I went with these pipes as they are a lot more reasonable. the rockers are also a later model aluminum and not the correct 2 piece rockers. I would be a little leary with fiberglass rocker panels that close to that much heat.

 

do you guys have just one pipe connected or are all four...i've seen both ways, if all of them are, was it difficult. And one last question, the diameter of those is only 3" right not 4" like hookers?

 

Mine are 3 1/2 in tubes by 63 inches long. Correct only one tube is hooked up. it has the 2 in inlet pipe. Iuse the stock rams horn. Like the original set up.

how is the sound? i live 4 miles from JCW and have contemplated these for awhile because the price is so good. and i have no shipping costs, or installation cuz i think it looks pretty simple, but i really want a good throaty muscle car sound

 

I really like the sound of the pipes. Most people that listen to them like the sound also. It is a lot different from say a flowmaster, but a good deep sound.

 

I installed them on my '68 SB and they sound great-a nice deep rumble and when you hammer it they really sound off. Almost sounds like a BB. Roger B.

 

thanks guy's i think the decision has been made

 

this is how mine sounds:

Sound great BTW, what is your idle rpm?

 

Great sound!!!

 

Thanks I have been looking for that information. All I don't know is what lenght do I need. You went with 63in., I have a 80 corvette. I would like them to stop behind the door and ofcourse just infront of the rear tires. Does anyone know what length I need? Thanks again!

 

I also have an 81 vette, looking forward to seeing your pictures with the Patriot sidepipes

 

pretty low around 500-600 i was holding the throttle alittle so it sounds alittle higher

 

wow stingraymaniac, is that a stock motor? or is it all cammed up and that good stuff
