Is it the rice aspect or the cut out itself? :)

Was thinking if instead of routing the cut out to open air route one side to the rear exit exhaust and one to the side pipes.

There are a few places selling electiric cutoff switches so that switching btn to two systems would be as simple as a flick of the switch.

As a matter of fact, save your money on the fake pipes and get your old lady some fake *****!! Come on, Fake pipes on a Vette! That aint right!

But you know, if you like em, get em and don't worry what anyone else thinks. If you care what everyone else thinks, get a new Mustang!

Pressurerat, why do cutouts suck?

Norval...driving a bigblock corvette with a blower, saying size doesn't matter... better watch out or people are going to start making some assumptions!

try contacting Hooker Header. Click pic to enlarge it and go to my webpage

Do you happen to remember the seller of those pipes? They look awesome! I can't find them anywhere

That may be the oldest thread recall I've seen here on the CF, and one about poser bling, no less.

I'm pretty good about checking dates...the idiocy of the title drew me here and the age of the thread intrigued me. I love seeing REALLY old threads to see how different they are from 'current' conversations.

Usually, they aren't much different at all!

This is way too ricer for me, though. I couldn't bring myself to admit that ANYTHING on my car is 'just for show'.

^Nice car^
The wheel color/finish looks great with the white body color.

I get sucked into these moldy oldies every time.
