Sidepipe costs?
Ive come across someone who has a set of sidepipes for my car( :hurray: ) They're old Hookers that have never been mounted (lol, I just re-read that sentence). Since they are'nt made anymore I dont know how much to offer. How much do they cost for your guys' cars? :cheers:

Re: Sidepipe costs? (BlkBird)
I got mine off ebay headers, side tubes, mufflers, hard ware, for $339.00
the chrome was in bad shape, so I sanded them down alot of work!!! and when done had them jet coated for $400.00 a little more than wanted but the look and sound great :cool:

Re: Sidepipe costs? (74 vert)
Yes Hooker still makes Super comp Side pipe headers.
I priced them out today.
But let's get a couple something straight, even if it is obvious.
The C2 guys will pay big bucks for real original side pipes.
The last year side pipes were offered as a factory option was '69.
So if you have a '78 you needen't worry about "original" sidepipes.
PAW has the best price I have seen, much less then Summit.
818 678 3000
$519 for BBC and I think it was $469 or $489 for SBC for the super comp side pipe header in black finish.
I have a yellow shark so I can run those.
$200 for the actual side pipe, 4" same for BBC or SBC, and about $149 for either glass pac, or reverse flow muffler inserts
It's about 50% more for chrome
Good Luck

Re: Sidepipe costs? (groovyjay)
I made my one side pipes out of stainless steel and fitted JCL baffles inside. Cost was very reasonable. :yesnod: :steering:
$250 for covers new - $100 for header mufflers - and misc tubing should
come well under $500.

So, how much they sell the chrome one for? The complete system, headers, sidepipes and gasket install kit.

Re: Sidepipe costs? (wayne_69_427)
BlkBird: sorry I infringed on your question. Perhaps knowing new alternative prices will give you an idea of value, hence price to pay for the ones you found

$519+200? does that include everything?
I think i prefer the look of black vs chrome, especially on a stock car like mine. how does the finish hold up over time?

Re: Sidepipe costs? (BlkBird)
hooker also does SBC sidemount headers for the 78-81 firebird with 265-400 cid (Chevy?) motors in black for $459 and chrome$779 PAW
I don't know if the ehaust port placement on the Poncho head though but I'm not optimistic.
I want side mount headers for my '84 Camaro 400 chevy small block but haven't seen them yet.

Re: Sidepipe costs?
You or I could easily go to a race shop and have a set of custom side exit header built, and run the pipe off that, but that is about a grand for the header alone from a shop.
but they could just cut the old primarys out and not need to pull the motor to get the old long tubes out and new ones built in.
