Vette(s): 1970 stingray, t-top, mulsanne blue with black interior, 406 ci with 444 hp, racing suspension, hooker headers/sidepipes - SOLD :(

[QUOTE=Ruready2go]I have a set from Jet Hot coating, I have not put them on yet but they look great.  However, I think I changed my mind again and am probable going to sell them and go with regular chambered exhaust out the back.  I will let you know soon...my rush to get them might end up being someone elses savings!![/QUOTE]

were you still planning on selling those man?  if they'll fit on my 70 smallblock, I'll buy em.

Just my 2  cents on these here pipes........bought a set when I was 21 from Hooker.....the coolest thing on the block. Expensive when you are 21, but what the hell...it's sooo cool. The car was almost new then, and everybody loved them......sounded so sweet, but really turned into very loud after 6 months, especially with your foot into it on a long hill. The floor even vibrates, and gets even more heat into the cock pit. The chrome will blue all the way down to the 4 into 1 collector, then after about a year or so rust through at this very spot. These really are show items, not very well suited for daily- or even occasional driving, never really remember much improverment in mileage ( HA HA ) or power in my SB.

Soooo, I guess you have it.........if I was 21 again I'd buy'm again any how....LOL.
