Default black side pipes?

Does anyone have any pictures of a C3 vette that is black that have black side pipes on it? I found some used side pipes that are black and was wonding if it would look good on my 76.

Thanks,
kevin

Mark70 has a sweet looking black 1970 with black hooker sidepipes. Probably the finest example i've ever seen a picture of. If I can recall correctly his car was featured in a Walgreen's commercial.

I can't find a full size version of the pic I like but it is his avatar. Here is a link to a recent post of his where you can see the car/pipes. In his sig pic he has put on some heat shields so it doesn't look as cool as it did before.

can't somebody make them glossy? I would love to have black on black, but it just magnifies how ratty they look when you have gloss black car.

You can have them ceramic coated a quasi gloss black, my headers are that color and my pipes are a much flatter black, once I get back to the dorms (MUCH faster internet than dial up) Ill upload some new pictures and post them!
