C4 Hooker Supercomp side pipes
I have Hooker super comp side pipes on my C3. Im wanting to put them on my C4. Is anyone aware of anyone that makes a "bolt in" (hooker super comp style) side pipe?

My first thoughts are...A tolerance for:
(There's a reason the C4 sidepipe "kit" bolts to the rear of the converters AND includes fiberglass covers.)
That isn't to say someone hasn't done it yet either. There has been two cars with metal C3 vintage sidepipes installed. Not much exposure for each after installation. Gotta wonder if either/both were short-lived decisions due to the reasons I listed above?
- Loud, annoying drone
- Smelly exhaust -- and --
- Burnt calves

Make sure you thermal tape under your socks.

Everyone knows all that guys. Jeez.
No, no one does that I know of. In the latest issue of Vette mag a person put them on a C6. Custom build and very expensive so I'd say that's what you may be looking at even if you have some of the pipes. They actually look pretty cool. As far as drone goes, there are companies that make mufflers with internal valve butterflies. The drone is all but negligent to completely gone.
Someone may post theirs here. I'm sure its been done.
