Default looking for side pipes

I would like to get some side pipes for my 80 vette I don't want the Hookers because there mild steel and chrome they will last for a few years and rust I'd like to get the SX or OBX but I can't get a hold of anybody you can only contact them by e-mail and then if theirs a problem your probably stuck with them and then your out money and right now they are both out of stock so I can't get them anyway. Who builds Stainless steel side pipes that I can buy and won't have warranty issues? Thanks any help would be appreciated.

I have OBX headers and side pipes on my 1980 4/speed rebuild and they run and sound just fine. No issues. Good luck
