Default Sidepipes

I really want to get some sidepipes for my 77 L82 with manual tranny. I have a chance to buy these, I think they are hooker super competitions, but am not sure if they will fit. Can anyone tell if these are right for my small block 350?

Thanks for the help guys.





I changed locations, but the pictures are huge! Hope this works.

Thanks again.

Thanks again.

Looks like a SB header to me. Question is, will they fit a Vette? I've seen Gen I Camaro's with them.

They supposedly came off a 71 corvette. If so, I think they might fit.

Well then you're home free.

If they're made for a Vette they should work. A SB is a SB is a SB. Depending on the year, you may have minor rocker trimming.

They sure look like hooker super comps to me.. chrome. I just put the s/s version on my car. They fit perfect.. Easy to install. Make sure you got the "t" fasteners for the side pipes. (These fit in the slots on frame) If you did not get muffs or glasspacks, JCL (supporting vendor) has spiral baffles which work very well.

I installed in 1/2 of an afternoon... pretty easy..

Good Luck and enjoy!!

My old ones had the hooker heart and name stamped on the collector.
I don't know if they still do that or not.
