Default Side Pipe's ??

I know this subject has prolly been beaten around here alot but i dont spend too much time on the c3 forum so here it is.

My moms 79 vette
I want some side pipes, the look she is going for is big and shinny (in her words) i know hooker has that complete set up with headers and all for like $1500 but i just dont have that kind of budjet so i was wondering if i could get some sidepipes that look like that but wont cost me a months worth of paychecks. I need to figure something out fast cause Ill be ready to spray it with paint next week so any info or pics would help me out a ton
thanks
speedy

Try J.C Whitney, they have them pretty cheap, about $150.

About the only way to do it is make 'em yourself. Design what you want, buy the pipe, have 'em chromed and use a commercial baffle or 'glass insert. That way you can also use stock manifolds. E-mail me for pictures of the painted ones I made at: hcabplanalp@ucdavis.edu

I thought I saw real Hooker sides in a Summit catalogue for $900. :)

JET HOT HOOKERS RUN ABOUT $950.00 WITHOUT BAFFLES. FAR LESS THAN SUMMIT HOOKERS. I'VE FOUND CHROME HOOKERS FOR ABOUT $1000.00, NEW.
