Default Yellow C3 with sidepipes for sale

Hi !

I am a bit interested in this car, anything that seems suspicious on the photos?

Are those sidepipes homemade or factorymade?
What kind of sound do you guess comes out of them?
Would a hooker header side exhaust have a better sound?

Those look like the old school thrust sidepipes you could put on any car and then plumb the exhaust into them, sorta like factory side pipes, way better than undercar

Yeah, hookers 4 into 1 sound the best of all exhaust, corvettes deserve them or some 4 into 1

What do you think of the paintjob?
Quite cool look with the black stripes or what?

Some newer model alloys could make the car look even cooler?
Engine power 350 hp....this means the engine must be a little bit tuned?

Dont believe everything you read. Those 4 pictures tell very little concerning the condition of the car. The air cleaner assembly should not be at that angle.

You sure it's not just the camera angle? It's not going to be parallel with the valve covers.

I would like the sound to be more like this

The inserts in that black car have little spikes that will kill the flow, probably above 3500rpm. Sound is one thing but I value the output of the system.

There are some great threads on CF that can tell you how to look for critical rust issues first. After that I'd consider how much of the suspension, bushings and bearings have been replaced. Looks great though!
