I actually like what Supervettes did with the GT6X, if it ever does become anything beyond a rendering.

No I only liked them on the old style late 60"s.
I think they look out of place on a newer style. There are all types of tastes around but I'm betting that the majority of people would think it was just plain dumb looking. Me for one. I loved that look on the older late 60's vettes in red especially. They were beautiful and still are!

Full length sides and I would agree with you, just the opening coming out is something Im seeing more of on modded cars. And not so called ricers, but on stangs and such.

This site needs to get the browse thing going as I can't figure out how this forum works for posting pics. Maybe I'm not just crazy...

Presuming that any of the posts here actually own and/or drive C6 Corvettes or would buy a C7, I would ask the question again of actual possible owners. As an owner of a C6 I haven't had the off-road experience some seem to have had so I've never damaged the rocker panels. However I have experienced a warm trunk area, leading me to wonder about "modern technology" as it relates to exhaust systems. I personally think that getting the pipes out of the downforce tunnels and out into the rockers would be a great idea, but not if the price was an overcomplicated and exasperating set of compromises. Since my Dad had a big-block '66 with side pipes I will remind you all that they were not "mufflers" by any definition - they were exhaust pipes. Big, big difference. On the other hand, if you had them, you could delete the radio...because you'd never be able to hear it. And I definitely would NOT want the "Lingenfelder" style pipes - I would want something that fits inside the existing rocker panel line, or forget it...
Enjoy while you can.

interesting that the vote is exactly 60% to 40% with over 100 votes.
i think that it's pretty clear that the majority would not like to see sidepipes on the base c7.
however, it seems like most people would like to see side exhaust.
