Default Ordered my hooker sidepipes

Well today i ordered my hooker side pipes,i went with the black ones.I cant wait to get them on and see how they look,i also started making my exhaust filler panel too.Im modifying the stock panel and making ears on it to fit the quarter panels,this way i can always go back if i have too.(NOT)I didnt get any mufflers yet,im gone to go with the jcls but one thing at a time.

Pat, Very nice car.
I've got a BB '73. Can you tell me if you're talking about "headers" or "sidepipes", or both? What are the part numbers?

Thank you.

i dont know how you guys can go without baffles...especially with a BB...i tried it last summer when i had the JCL's out to uncap them...man it was loud...not as bad as the ride around the neighbourhood i took with the sidepipes off the car....it was literally unbearable...
