New on the market - C3 Big Block Side Pipes... Will these fit ?
I found a set of Big Block side pipes (with headers) on Ebay that I want to buy....but I need to know if there a set of side pipe covers that will fit this setup.
I emailed the owner and he said I could look on this forum for answers...
1.) Has anyone ever used this set of side pipes with headers ?
2.) Do they look like the others on the market that will accept standard side pipe covers ?

Thanks for any info

If you're asking will FACTORY sidepipe covers fit over this set up the answer is NO. If you're asking are there covers that will fit over 4" sidepipes the answer is yes. Steel Shields (a supporting vender here) has covers to shield the heat and a company called Cobra Stuff (I believe) also offers shields for the 4" pipes.
Now if you're asking if the headers fit that's a different story. The best answer I can give you is maybe.....but you would have to test fit them. Read all the big block fitment issue horror stories and then decide if you want to try them. Also make sure you understand what the return policy is if they don't fit. By all means if you decide to try them even if they are returnable if you "ding" them you own them.
Good luck with what ever you decide.
