Side pipes on a C4?
Has anybody ever put side pipes on a C4? I know MADVET sells fake housings, but I'm not sure you could actually plumb it. I think it would look and sound nice if you could do it.

Lawrence Keech, Inc., the same people who make Power Effects, has them for the C4; the side exhaust is known as Side Effects.
I ran them when my engine was stock and I loved them. After the engine build, they proved to be too loud for my tastes, not to mention the fact that they weighed a ton!

The only thing that bottomed out on speed bumps or anywhere else, were the jacking point extensions, and it always sounded worse than it really was.
I included a link to LK, Inc (Power Effects) but either they've gone out of business or the site is dead; I couldn't get anything when I clicked it or otherwise tried to log on.
The wheels are Borbet Type T, but that last time I looked they don't make 'em in 17" sizes anymore. I couldn't get them any wider than 9.5" either.

Checked out your sight, I have a 95 allso, thinking about droping a 383 in it though...
