sidepipes
has anyone out there have a c5 or c6 with sidepipes on it? just curious as to how they would look. i really think it would look great with the pipes on the sides instead of the back. and i don't mean a concept picture. i mean a real c5 or 6 with the pipes. like i mentioned, just curious. thanks.

There was a thread on here last week from a vendor offering them. Non functional though. They did not get very pleasant response here.
I FOUND IT.

Contact Don or Wayne, Don owns SS-Vette he has a functional set that looks amazing. He is going to make a thread on them next week.
I saw them on a Vette at their shop a few weeks ago.
Let me clarify my statement above, his are not an exposed set, they are covered by a rocker panel but exit just rear of the door, and look amazing.

To make the side pipes functionable you would have to fabricate the pipes from the headers to make some very weird bends. The gas tanks in a Vette make it almost impossible to make the exhaust more efficient than the stock set up. I've seen some artist renderings that look great..Nice eye candy..but no performance gains.
