Kit features built-in high-flow mufflers (with efficient 6-sided louvered cores) to absorb noise, but not horsepower! Easy installation. Two welded brackets on each pipe allow easy, secure attachment of L-shaped hangers with nuts and bolts. Kits include: 2 complete pipes with 4 tube collectors, installation hangers, nuts and bolts. Choice of 3 lengths to accommodate virtually all applications.
Note: Length of side pipes is measured from the bend in the collector to the end of the side pipe. Cannot be shipped express. Please check local emission laws before ordering.


Here's the link:

Why not save your pennies and buy stainless hookers that will last forever? I have had a set for just under a year with no regrets.

Hay Jughead are you thinking to change out your side pipes to Hookers??? Your current side pipes are some of the nicest on the forum.

side pipes only my barber know for sure.

Yeah, I wanna be like MasterDave He's got or had different exhaust sytems to satisfy his varying tastes. I got the '69 fact originals, a set of used Hooker SuperComps with a matching chambered system and a set of used Hooker Sidemounts would complete the different exhausts I'd like to have. I could switch 'em when I feel.

Plus my wife wasn't nearly as pizzed about the C5 seats as I thought she'd be. Gotta push the limit ya know?
