isn't it amazing a little trimming and a couple chrome tips improved the looks that much. chevy could have boosted sales a lot because the rubber bumpers looked so unfinished.

I like Motorhead's setup the best. I think I'm going to copy it this summer with my car. I hate the stock turndowns

I have an 80 that I just had exhaust run back with an X-pipe, Magnas, and Camaro tips. After all that I still don't like the look of how you can see the pipes coming under the rear axle.
I have the body off of another 80 (has the batwing), doing a restomod. I am wondering if anyone has found a way to route the exhaust OVER the rear axle as in the newer vettes? Lets assume no cats, no spare tire tub, and coil-overs instead of a leaf spring - possible or am I crazy
?
This modification would obviously open up a lot of possible looks for the rear of the C3.

I wanted to be different as well when I did this, I think it turned out alright. instead of cutting into the rear bumper I went with a center mount like the newer C5&6's but used a tip from the early C3's.
I used the early C3 stainless exhaust tips that I found at Summit and a Dyno Max 2 in 2 out muffler, it also has a great sound, especially with an LS2 breathing through it.

I have been thinking about doing something like this for a while. I think it looks great!

Very cool ideals.
I really like seeing others doing unique ideals to their rides, making them different from most every body else's rides. Thanks for sharing these ideals and I hope it encourages others to think outside the box.
