Hi 75 Y,
Although I prefer the original syle 69 pipes yours DO look really good. I can imagine how pleased you are now, after waiting to have them.
I wish your ears well. Ha Ha!!
Regards,
Alan

Whatever's left from income tax return after the wreck is fixed...
I want the Carrera (QA-1's) up front to match the back, the Wilwood or Baer bolt on brakes, a couple of run flats to start that upgrade, a little interior work, and the cheapy non-adjust nitrous the pistons were chosen for, but sidepipes were a long, long wanted item - they look great!

I bought my '77 last year and some one at some point put the same pipes on. Yes they are loud with no inserts. It sounds like a Harley! I am concerned however that there is so little resistance/backpressure, you can here them acutally suck air when you let off the gas. I am not sure if or how this affects performance. Does anyone have any ideas. I was thinking that putting some inserts in might actually allow the engine to run smoother.
