Re: Ordered my hooker sidepipes (patsnitrovette)
Damn Pat....gonna make that car look way too bad ****! Are you going to go open pipes for a while before you get the JCLs. I wouldnt suggest it!! haha. Did it with mine for a while and it was unbearable, but cool. :D Then added the JCLs and it was much better but quiter than my tastes... Few months later, uncapped them, and now its perfectly sweet!!! Nice idle and screams at WOT!!
Your gonna love them tho!!

Hey pat...
I think the '73 is going to look sweet with them on her!
Although I've got a favor to ask... Could you before ya put em on pull the length of the tubes on one side? Just for those of us on the fence about em to see if they are close enough to being equal for us perfectionists...
IE could ya take the tape and measure from the #1 cylinder exhaust tube to the collector... the #3 and so on...
Thanks :cheers:

Re: Ordered my hooker sidepipes (78 Vette)
ok i got the drivers side on,just the header,im trying to get my exhxaust panel done first,but the side pipes give you way more room underneath i cant believe i didnt do this sooner.Oh for measurement there not equal at all.
#1-49 inchs
#3-48 inchs
#5-40-41 inchs
#7-53 inchs

Re: Ordered my hooker sidepipes (patsnitrovette)
Thats not horrible... I've heard some headers have a difference of nearly 20 inches! Impossible to tune...
Thanks for taking the measurements for me :cheers:
I think I'm going to be buying some now :yesnod:
