Quite side pipes
Need help,
I can still hear the radio after installing a set of Hooker sides on my 68 bb roadster. I tried it without the slip in glass packs, but my ears were bleeding before I got out of the garage, so I'm trying to find a mid point where I'm not knocking pictures off the wall and setting off car alarms. Is this possible. Any mods I can do to the slip ins to make them a little more aggressive. Thanks for any info .

I had a crossover pipe made for my side pipes on my 81. It made a difference. Not as loud can drive around with the t-tops off and not have to blast the radio to hear it. It also helped my bottom end power. My vette is completely stock.
