Looks great, how do you find the loudness of them, I had the 69 style on for 2 weeks 2 summers ago and found the sound just too loud and intrusive, maybe the Hooker's are less so - they sure look :cool:

 

Looks great SIGNGUY!

What's your next project? Or are you about finished with things? I'm happily in the nik-nak mode with nothing planned that will make any vette supplier any money.

 

:cool: :cool: :cool:

You have to run them open just like me :D

 

Look'in Good! :cheers: :cool: :seeya

 

"AWESOME"
:steering:

 

Looks :cool: Gary, I'll look into that heatshield stuff first thing next week. :cheers: How's that new gear box treating you?

 

Looks good. Are they Hooker's or J.C. Whitney?

 

actually they ARE JC Whitney...i was wondering when someone would ask...

so far i am glad they are...most of all because there is NO WAY in hell im gonna spend $1200 or more on exhaust...

but let me tell you that i was impressed with them from the moment i lifted them off the tailgate of the FedEx truck and opened the box...
these things are NOT light and whimpy as one might expect from a company like JCW...
believe me, i was skeptical too and researched them a little before i bought them...but really convinced me was seeing them with my own eyes and hearing them with my own ears...
FOR THE MONEY they are VERY nicely made...and they sound absolutely awesome...
they were $204 and when i checked out i got an additional discount that made them $174...$194 with shipping...
how can you beat that!?!
plus when you figure that i live in Florida (no snow, ice and salt) and i never drive my car in the rain and its always kept inside when not being driven,
they will last me at least a couple of years...
i figure if i get even 2 yrs out of them i got my moneys worth...
at $100 a year i can afford a brand new set every couple of years for a long time! :yesnod:
and YES...3 of the intake pipes are fake...but do i really give a rats azz?
NOPE... :D

 

very nice. you may have talked me into it. but first what did it take to hook them up to the manifolds/headers? what headers are you running? :cool:

 

:cool: Who cares if they are fake They look awesome :D :cheers: :seeya

 

The sure look good! :steering:

 

been read'n all your post on your rebuild, been wate'n on you to get those pipes an tell us what you think about'm.
thank's for the head's up, thay look real :cool:
i'm sold!!!
by the way real nice job you've done there :thumbs:
that's one clean looking 79! :cheers:
i'm calling in my order asap! :cool: :flag

 

Lovin sidepipes! :cool: :cheers: :cool:

 

Lookin good...sidepipe brothers unite! :D

 

She looks realy good with the crome. :cool:

 

Hi

What's the trick / difference to HOOKERS beside the price ?
They do look good.

Boy you've been doing lots with your vette since you've gotten it, guess that bug reaches all over :D

:thumbs: You new pipes look great :thumbs:

 

1st of all...thanx everyone for the nice comments... :)

someone asked about which headers im runnin...Dynomax...

as far as them being fake and how they hook up...
3 of them going into the collector are fake...one is real...
that one connects to the header...

dont get me wrong, i like the "real" ones too...
i just cant justify the cost for my "daily driver"...

thanx again everyone... :)

 

194.00 with shipping !!!! You are right. You cant go wrong at that price. Do they have a web site? Would like to check them out also . Looking forward to those outdoor pictures. Thanks
