Default Side pipes for an 82 ?

I am thinking of putting on a set of side pipes to spruce up the look of my 82 & get a better sound than the stock system. Has anyone done this & is there a kit produced??

Lots of us out here run 'em and like 'em. Definatley make your ride stand out!

Best way to install is to read a lot and ask questions. I learned the hard way......

Very nice....I even have the same set of spoked rims as you.

Ask questions....OK....does the cat stay or go ??

Do I keep the stock manifolds or put headers on ??

Those are headers that run into the side pipes, no cat, no stock manifolds.
