we'll be waiting for the 'after installation' pictures...:lurk:

Alan 71 08-09-2011 07:23 PM

Hi Roma,
If you don't want some more work...stop reading now!!!!




The black fiberglass insulators had a front-end and back-end. Yours have a top and side, but are open at the ends. There was a little piece fiberglass about 3/8" by a 1" in front and 3/8" by 2" in back that closed the openings.
Details!!!!
Regards,
Alan

you are right - nothing is cooler than original side pipes - fortunately, I have them too

Alan 71 08-12-2011 06:17 PM

I believe your pictures can only be the result of ALL the EFFORT you put into this exhaust system.
WELL DONE!!!!

Hi

I'm jalous.
The yellow Vette comes good with this pipes.
Now you belong to the hard core coke bottle design destroyers.
That's what I keep on getting told by individuals that don't like side pipes.

Good that we don't listen to them.

Have fun. Günther

Sounds nice. I am not sure if its just the video or my speakers but to me it sounds like you hear the vibration or sound of of the covers like maybe they aren't tight. I have a 69 350/350 w/factor side pipes and don't hear it but like I said could be the video or my speakers.

Roma 08-13-2011 05:44 PM

Could be that it is the licence-plate , with the low vibration you here it a little bit . The coversare tight

WESCH 08-14-2011 04:40 AM

Hi

Roma, you know that when you push onto the right hand food pedal under the steering column, that this would speed up the engine and the noise level dramatically.
That's really what we would love to hear. The sidepipes at 4000 RPM.

Great looking car and so far , great sound. Keep the info coming.

Rgds. Günther

Roma 08-14-2011 04:48 AM

Hi Günher,

you will hear it at the Corvette-Meeting in Speyer.

The VideoCamera was from my brother and its back now.

Have a nice Sunday

Frank
