Default C4 Side Pipes

Does anyone make a true C4 sidepipe kit? I am not talking about the pipe with fiberglass around it. I am talking about a true 1960's sidepipe. I have seen a drag mag that had a blue c4 on the cover with them, however I cannot remember which mag it was.

Any help would be appreciated.

Side Effects made them, but they are not in production.

Filled with helium. Always make sure at least one tire has regular air in it though.

Wow I like biggs and littles but those biggs are a little much. I saw a turbo LS1 Camaro running mid 8s on a true 10 1/2 inch tire at Stanton no less. Them pipes are sweet though.

Not sure if I would equate "a little much" with his tire size... especially after seeing the lift in that second pic. I'll bet he's using ALL of that tire on launches.

I do like the sidepipes!


EDIT: is that a cryo'd D36 rear?

The answer is no. The only kit ever made (Side Effects) had fiberglass covers and that's not what you want.

To get something like what's pictured above, you'll have to custom make them. As a head-start, you could adapt the generic side pipes sold by Summit Racing or JC Whitney's. (It's the same item).

The kit has integrated mufflers (which are replaceable). You probably won't get a cat in there anywhere and it will be LOUD!
