What do you think about C5 with side pipes? - Page 2 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Mixed emotions. But it could grow on me.

One word... TERRIBLE!

AFblueSS · 12-20-2010, 05:47 PM

They look GREAT! If you want your Camaro to look like a Trailer Park Ferrari!

I think the only way a sidepipe would look alright on the camaro is if it was done in a viper style application.

Yep I would agree on that. Now, is there a company ready to offer that option to us?

I envision the smell of melted flesh every time you try and get out.

Not my cup of tea.

Looks good, but would not do that to my Camaro. Would have to always were my heat shield jeans to protect my legs when getting in and out.

JMVHO.

It happened to me twice with my brother-in-law 72 Vette. Really hurts.

Side exhaust would look good if you cut out the exhaust holes through the gfx and filled in the holes on the rear diffuser, thats what I plan on doing to mine.

Side exhaust = yes. That style in the pic = no.

How about 8 stacks sticking out of the hood?

I would do black rather than chrome.

Nope, been burned on those to many times. And Then oh hell no on a V6.

Had a set on a 73 Dodge Charger, 44o six pack with hookers. They were the patriot side pipes, and you could remove the mid muffler. Damn thing sounded mean, and loud.
