Sidepipes! Will these fit?
http://www.jcwhitney.com/webapp/wcs/...atalogId=10101
For a '76:
Does anyone have any experience with these? Do they fit? (IE: The header imitators won't get in the way, right?)
And one last question, what length to get?
Thanks!

Do a search for Patriot sidepipes - there are quite a few folks running them and they're fairly well built. I'd like a set for dress only, I don't care for the scorched calves on my legs! I'm working on a setup where I use cutouts that dump thru the Patriot rear opening but don't actually go thru the sidepipes.

If you want the look without the price go for it. You will need the 63 in length. If you are expecting a great performance gain, then don't look at those. I have used them for years and like the way they look and sound. They hook up like the factory side pipes using the stock manifolds.

Side pipes
I have them on my 76 work great and love the sound, took the rocker cover off and bolted them to the frame. I also put some exhasut pipe sealant between the joint. Got mine through Jegs . took anout two hours for the hook up. as far a performance haven,t noticed any difference, don,t go that fast anyway.

I have used them and they sound good and for the price they are pretty good quality. Now the real Hookers are the way to go for performance but a little pricey. The reason I went with the JC Whitney -Patriots is to see if I liked them and I could carry them back with my luggage to save me from the 200% Customs Mafia charges. BTW they do get real hot so be careful. I am in the process of putting on Stainless steel Hookers now that they are going to be a permanent addition.
You folks in the States are so lucky good priced for parts, cheap fast shipping and no Customs extortion money.
