Side Exhaust
Guys, do me a favor, look up a U tube titled (Corvette 1969 quiet side exhaust sound) this is by a user by the name of "hillbillyvette". He has a big block on a frame and sounds great!! I was on the fence on side pipes until I saw this U Tube video. I love the sound of a Chevrolet V8 and plan to drive it alot and be able to hear the radio and not to annoy my wife. I did a search and there is a Hill Billy Vette Shop in Tennessee, not sure if that is him. Well anyway trying to figure out where to get this set of quiet side pipes. Did see a few vendors offering loud and quiet and do not want to buy the wrong ones, the ones on the video are perfect!!

AL.If you want your car to be quiet and listen to your radio stick with rear exhaust, side pipes aren't for you, who ever told you that they are quiet lied to you lol

side pipes are not quiet unless you put in super restrictive inserts.. maybe that's whats been done in the video you show.. but it may have a negative impact on your HP. With that said, I have side pipes and love them.
