Are sidepipes today considered, "Passe"?

If not, does anyone have some pictures thay can post?

Can you tell us more about the wheels as well? Type, Size etc?

What Brand of Headers are they?

Can you still set your car low enough to help the handeling.

Leg burns still a problem, or do they have double tubes now to decrease the burning?

Thanks,

Tyoneal,

Those are Hookers, and have been around for ages.
This car has a big block, but they make them for small blocks too.

They spin through a pair of JCL Spiral Baffles instead of the Hooker glass pack junk. The spiral baffles give them a wicked tight rhaspy sound.

Is this car pro-touring? I think so. It is sitting on tubular front control arms tied into a pair of dual mount fiberglass springs (no coils on either end). They are fully adjustable for ride height and firmness. The front has a 1 1/8" bar with a 7/8" in the rear. All on poly mounts with killler bilstien shocks. I can actually lower it another 1/2", but the oil pan would be in severe danger.

I have added a rack, hydraboost brakes, and that ties into stock four piston calipers on each wheel. It will throw you through the windshield when I stomp the brakes if you don't have your five point harness on. I would love to have some big bling-bling brakes like I put on my 69 Camaro...but these things just work too darn good to mess with them right now.

Engine is a port fuel injected .060 over 454 mated to a ROD6 and dressed in ice cold vintage a/c. Gauges are Autometer pro-comps...and then for good measure I had to add power windows, locks, keyless, tilt/tele...big radio...etc.

Seats are 94 Vette.

The roll bar is not NHRA approved...but is better than nothing and adds some good looks to the ride.

I finished this car just as the smooth lip rim was coming out. Intro wan't able to put a 12" rear hoop together in the smooth lip...so I have the standard old style hoops. That's okay.

Front are 18x9.5 on a 4.5 bs 275 35 18
Rear are 18x12 on a 5 bs 335 30 18

Tires are Pilot sports. They have been wonderful, but are no longer as sticky as they were, so it is hard to keep the back on the ground when you romp the throttle.
