New side pipes what do you think?

Hello everyone,

I have just finshed installing my factor style side exahust on my 68 small block 327 350HP model. I had custom 2 1/2 inch straight pipes installed and they sound GREAT!! nothing better then side exhaust.

I'm asking for feedback good or bad?

Actually, I'm pretty disappointed. I expected a video with the raunchy sound. Looks good.

Now, drop the rear of the car a little and you have it made.

I have to say, these look sweet. I have the Hooker Super Comp headers & pipes and they look plain compared to these...

They look like they belong there. Nothing like the sound of side pipes, especially hearing it bounce off the cars around you when sitting at the light. They are saying "here I am" and if some people find it annoying, too bad! At least it ain't a boom box..........

If I was to install side pipes, it would be the same factory style looking types. Looks great, classy.
