side effects

Hi, bought a set of side effects exhaust over the weekend and need a couple small parts. I thought this would be a good place to start. I need the 2 rear hangers, 2 rubber grommets for the side mounts and is there a special connector to the y pipe? Any leads would be appreciated. Thank you 63silverpearl teboilcity47@gmail.com

You van see I need the rear hangers or have them made

These are the two grommets I would like to replace

Good luck in your quest, they haven't made those in decades, I would look at e-bay, and junk yards.

This what we are talking about!

They don't make them anymore, so you would be best off trying to find another car that had them in a corvette junkyard. If I were you, I'd take it to an exhaust shop and have them fab it all together.

I was trying to buy PEs new at the same time they started having problems, I had to find it all used.

I hope you didn't pay lot of money for them, like the other post, perhaps a muffler shop might be able fabricate parts to make it work.

I can tell one thing, saw and witness it more than once.

You need to avoid speed bumps if your state and area have any, you will crack the side pipes, if not careful.

They also made block that went on rear bumper to hide the exhaust holes, in the bumper.

Another thing stay away from big dips in or swells in the road, they will crack, drive sideways and slow, and pray.

That is only draw back to them, other wise I always liked them.

Installed these panels, on my C4, there not made any longer either, went away with the side pipes.

Must be showing my age!

Couple of pics. I never had them on any of my C4s but there is a post on the Forum from 2017 that goes into a lot of detail. Some say they look nice, some say that the extreme U turn in the pipes robs HP, some say they scrape on dips in the road, speed bumps and driveway entrances.
I did not copy the post because several people got into "discussions" that made the topic a less than enjoyable.
The first Corvette only car show I went to back in the late 90s had a black 93 with these pipes. It won best of C4s for the show.
Hopefully these pics can help you with some details.
