Default Sidepipes On An '80?

Looks like all the major Corvette catalogues have sidepipe kits for everything up to '79. Would I have problems putting them on an '80? Any experiences? :confused:

I've got the 4" Hooker sidepipes on my 81, it's no problem for your 80.

Thanks! It wasn't bad but I put them in when I had the motor out. It's not that hard to do just have some helpers handy and plan it out before you start.
