The Cobra owners call the scar and or blister on the back of their calf, a snake bite. The good thing about it, you will only do it once.

I like side pipes obviously, but, few cars have the right "look" in my opinion. I have a chrome set of faux header side pipes where only one of the tubes flows exhaust I ran for many years and a NOS set of Hooker headers/side pipes I'm installing during the current build. I'd like to get the Hookers chromed but I'm afraid to even ask how much at the chromer.

If you have side pipes, stay off the curbs if you do any track events. The pipes are the lowest point and get bent up/bends headers usually on the first or second curb impact.

Not true! I've got one on each leg!

And Stingrays sting too!

Searched for a chrome set many many years without success and then a Firebird forum member contacted me saying he had the black version of the ones I wanted. So I paid the man.........

And they've still got the "Space age coating" !!!

UhOh......having worked as a production engineer in a chrome plating plant, I'm thinking that the platers won't want to come within a mile of "silicone" cos it contaminates their solution (floats on the surface and ruins every job thereafter)....
