There are several sources for side pipes depending on what type you are looking for? Are you looking for the orignal style? I bought my set from Eckler's but I know they are available at most Corvette suppliers. There are lots of other choices in side pipes as well. I have a few pictures on my website of forum member's cars with side pipes. :cheers:

I'm not sure what kind I'm looking for. I can care less if it is factory. It will be for a 1978 vette. Do I have to have special headers?

The original style will bolt directly to your original manifolds. You might want to check this thread to look at the original style. http://forums.corvetteforum.com/zerothread?id=266230

I'm wanting some that look really good. Maybe 4in or so. I'm just not sure what kind of sidepipes are made. I checked out your sight and i like the pic #s 2,7,9,10. Do you know were i could get them from?

zeekracing. Go to the top of your post and on the far right side there's a place called "SEARCH". Type in "sidepipes" and you'll have enough to keep you busy for a while. Good luck. JCL :cool: :cool: :chevy "Sidepipes are the way"

Boy, there is more desire to have side pipes than I would have believed! The repeated posting of the subject is incredible. That said, I vote that JCL has the best combination. I am running baffles in my Hooker side pipes; but, he can now take care of supplying the tubes too.

Jim is also a really good guy. His parole officer speaks very highly of him. The same parole officer I used to have. I like to keep business in the family! :D
