Default New parts Comming!

Today I ordered Side Pipes for my car, never had them as this is still my first vette. But really looking forward to puting them on this spring! I will post before and after Pics to see what you guys think.

I've wanted to get some also, thought I had a set a month ago but missed out. What did you choose? Look forward to hearing how your install goes and finished pics.

I just put some on my basketcase......glad I did as the exhaust system was rotten. Don't be afraid to fab thicker frame-to-sidepipe brackets....as I found the kit brackets to be flimsy.

Well, It's been awhile. I had to wait till the weather warmed up to get out and start putting these on. Now I have them on. My Father and I worked on it all weekend. It's been very difficult. I thought the headers were the hard part. lol but the side pipes themselves are proving to be more of a headache. I have to remove the drivers side as I just cant get it mounted were I want tit to be.The passenger side almost fell on compared to the drivers. I like how the passengers side looks and fits so i will be trying to match it to the other side. had to go to the hardware store and get 5 inch long bolts to make it through the frame rail and sneak a nut on the inside while trying to line up this long bolt with the side pipe...it's been challenging. Maybe i'm doing it wrong. But I've never installed a set before so just trying to make it work.
