Side pipe options?
I have always loved side pipes on the C3's and have decided to get some. Please show me some pics of different styles. I like the hookers, but I am not sure I want to go to the trouble of building custom headers to fit the LS1. What other options are there?

Wow.. 30 views and no responses??? Where is everyone???
I wish I could offer some input but I will be asking the same question when I finally get my C3 so I am paying attention to this one :D

Check out the original '69 style they will hook right up to your existing manifold. There are quite a few on this forum, check out GordonM or Binnie77 also the pic on the cover of Corvette Fever.

I like the original style but don't like the price. Especially when I have to modify them to fit my LS1 manifolds.

Re: Side pipe options? (70 LS1)
A muffler shop should be able to hook you up pretty easily if you go with the original '69 style, just a couple of small bends. I don't think I've ever seen anyone use side pipes with an LS1. The closest thing I've seen is in one of my catalogues that showed a C4 with side pipes and covers. I don't know if this is a possibility or not, but what about shorty headers and '69 style side pipes? That might work. Wish I could be more help. Good luck.
