76 with side pipes?
Does anyone have pictures of a 76 with side pipes. Been thinking about it...not sure if what's available would look OK. I have seen some pretty bad aftermarket stuff.

Here's my '71 with mid-year pipes. Definitely NOT the cheap way to go, but they do look good!

'76 with the cheap 4 into 1 pipes. These have one of the four tubes that hook to the exhaust. The side pipe is about an inch smaller than the Hooker type side pipes.

Wow! That looks incredible
Did you just buy some mid-year covers and run a custom exhaust behind it or what? Did you have to do a lot of modifications to make it fit? I really like the look and might try to do the same thing once I get a C3.
Thanks!

Panic, sidepipes like that are illegal here in Ohio. Exhaust has to exit no further farward then behind the doors, because exhaust gasses can enter the cabin.

76 with Hookers and sidepipes.
Planning to get them coated (jet-hot or ?) over winter.
