Default Sidepipe picture(s) request

I am very likely going to be installing pipes on my '69. I know I want hookers *snicker*, but I am undecided on finish.
I found plenty of pics of chrome pipes, but I would like to see some of the black pipes (and headers), as well as ceramic and/or stainless.
It would be great to see them on a chrome bumper vette, just so I can get an idea of what they would look like on mine, but I'll take any pics.
Thanks!
Scott

These are hooker side mount with side pipes that I am putting my my 74, they are ceramic. Note, not fully attached as I just set on to check on mounting clearance. I will have the exit coming stright out.

Just jacked up the ft end and put on jack stands. It's much easier to remove the master cly and power brake booster and you will need to remove the spark plugs. It's not hard a all. You have to remove the bottom trim to drill the holes for the side pipes. Paul

The side pipes are hooked up after you install the headers.
