Installing OBX Side Pipes: Help!
I'm confused. I have the headers on, and everything connected. Except for the actual pipes themselves. My installation procedures only go as far as the actual headers go. Do the pipes mount beneath the rocker panels, on the outboard side of the frame, or on the bottom of the frame? If somebody could post a picture of the actual install, I'd really appreciate it.
I also found out when I was in the process of installing my headers that my mount kit for the pipes are for the 69 factory ones. http://www.ecklerscorvette.com/corve...-kit-1969.html
Oops.
Thanks in advance!

Pull off the rocker panels, the pipes mount in the slotted holes in the outside of the frame. The correct mounting kit has "T' bolts to slip into the frame slots and mount to the brackets on the pipes. You may have to get the hardware kit from Hooker.

You have to order the mounting kit designed for the hooker side pipes. Then remove the metal rocker panels and you will see two slots that line up with the mounting tabs on the pipes. Tie a piece of heavy duty fishing line to the T-Bolts supplied in the kit trust me you will be happy you did this first time you drop one into the frame. then just put the rubber pieces and washers on and tighten up the nut.
