Hi guys its been a while, I'm looking at changing to side pipes and are after info on anyone that makes original style side pipes in Australia.
Don at Snake Bite doesnt do them anymore.
Thanks Paul

Go to the vintage wheels site advertised on this site.

They sell pipes for $500 or under a grand coated, per pair.

We are nearly dollar for dollar with the us, which is probably hard to beat.

I'm pretty sure that the American pipes won't make any muffling at all. I've spoken to many muffler manufacturers in the USA and they are very happy with LOUD side pipes as normal.
Nothing that will be legally acceptable in Oz. I'm just saying this as a warning. There are some exhaust mobs in Oz that make side pipe kits...Defillipo. Lillford etc.

Doesn't mention cats either...

Any side pipes are not legal in NSW anyway, so I would not be too concerned about cats.
You may want to be able to baffle it to make it more comfortable to drive and to lessen the plods taking notice.

We can make them anyway that you would like, quiet or loud. We use to make them for Kirkham before he went to stainless and have made them for Shelby in the past. Also for Roger at Exact Cobra (carbon fiber). Regards, Justin

Contact Cobber (Andy) on this forum. He makes a really nice set of stainless side pipes that look as good as you can get. There was a thread on here about them somewhere.
