well i do agree with ZEBRA about the pipes, however im about as " REDNECK " as you can get (born in south Louisiana, raised in deep south Alabama) and i do like the look of side pipes on some cars, or if the pipes are done the way BUMBLE BEE showed em. you just have to be careful with the pipe diameter.....also, make sure your car can "walk the talk" its pretty embarrassing to see a car with loud or aggressive exhaust and no balls.......ya know kinda like RICERS doe with their honda civics and accords.......................

And before anyone tells me to just buy a V8 and do the project, when the car is finished it's going to my nephew and he doesn't need V8 power lol. Not yet anyways. Plus with the engine mods he will be happy enough with the 350-400 pony's he'll be able to coax outta it. But yes the 1961 Mako 'Vette is my inspiration.

If you are gonna do side-pipes on a newer camaro, hide them with heat resistant side-skirts... it would look better.

Bumble Bee '77 · 02-24-2009, 06:12 PM

rear tires broke loose in a turn from oil on the road, and after a heavy rain and fishtailed into oncoming traffic and hit a Blazer head on.
