Yeah, the side pipes are a nuisance, but having them on there just for decoration spoils the effect. I think I'd hook 'em up and put up with the noise and the stinky pants legs. Or...seems to me the exhaust goes part way through the side pipes, then is diverted to the mufflers. I don't know whether it's feasible, but how about opening the side pipes all the way through, then welding on some flanges with covers, like the "laker pipes" common in the 50's and 60's? That way the side pipes would be functional but you could also make the car easier to live with. Just my $.02.
