Sidepipe install is done.

Thats Hooker side exhaust. I purchased a set from Ecklers. I heard a rumor Hooker won't be manufactuing these anymore. Anyone else here that? I don't see them for sale anymore on Eckler's website. http://www.ecklers.com I only see replacement tubes now.

I'm not going to use the inserts.
1FUNVETTE, is looks as if you have the same situation as me--the pipes look like they droop toward the back even though they're level with the ground all the way back and the driver side looks lower than the passenger side even though they're not. Glad I'm not going crazy.
