Side Pipes for 78 vette
I have a 78 vette, it's not the PACE or the Silver, but it has potential. I'm new to all this so I need help. Is it possible to install side pies on this model? I haven't seen or read of any. Also if they do exist where would I be able to order them? Again I'm a rookie just starting to rebuild my first custom VETTE.

I have Jet-hot Hookers with STS baffles and love them. You should consider this set-up, also Jet-hot is now a supporting member of this place, The Forum. I think I have like $1250.00 in my exhaust system.
