I’m sorry, I’m just a car addict. Comes from growing up in the 60s and 70s and it’s stuck with me since. And I love side pipes. I used to have a set of Hooker Headers with side pipes in flat black on a Red 74 Camaro that looked a lot like the set below.
They do introduce some extra sound inside the car but if that is a sound you love it’s fine.
Some cars wouldn’t look right without them.
I doubt I’ll have a big V8 again to attach a set to, but one can dream.

Saturday, where did the week go? I did some things this week that were very good, but I didn’t maximize my use of time like I should have. So here is to the weekend of catchup and starting another week off at full speed.

That would explain it then, thanks Mike

There are several current models that have side exit exhausts (before the rear tires) but none that have pipes running down the side from behind the front tire down the side.
