I am looking at buy a set of hooker sidepipes for my 74 couple and am having trouble desideing on chrome, SS, or ceramic coated. I am leaning more to the SS because I am worried about rust foarming between the pipes. I drive this car alot. Does anyone have any picutes of the ceramic or SS to share or experiance with them?

Now that you've read the past thread, I think you'll agree the sterling coating is the best bet: no blue, no rust, and great looking. You'll hear both ways on the inserts; a friend who has the same BB as I do went with the spirals while I did the max flows. Listening to them side by side, the max flows are a little more nostalgic in their sound, like pipes used to be. If you're younger than 45 it won't matter.
Do one more thing: look at Bangkok Dean's website: www.steelshields.com for a great and safe way to protect you and the family from burns. These heat shields are aces and you're gonna need them!
