Default side pipes

I am thinking of putting side pipes on my '79 vette. Any suggestions on the most economical and easy to install sets? I like the kind with the covers as on the '69-'74 style.

You can get the covers in fiberglass and paint them...cheaper than chromed aluminum...a lot cheaper!

I would be interested in seeing pictures of 68-72 vettes (especially black cars) w/ painted factory style fiberglass side exhaust covers.

Cheers!

JetHot sells the Hooker Super Competition for about $1100. Make sure you tell them you're a forum member for the discount.
