classic roadster II sidepipes

[James Stern]

DV, My car was purchased in 1999. Would your statement hold true for this year?

I have made new 304 highly polished stainless side pipes.
From the header flange to the turn out with custom hangers.
Click on this like below. I can make these for you, so send me a PM or email.

I hear that those polished stainless steel sidepipe are very suceptible to cracking, especially when installed on Lone Star Cobras...

[FUNFER2]

The cracking is only because people don't support them properly with a hanger. The three guys I've talked to said the did not use the hanger at all !

The only time my LSC would crack them, is because it's so,oooo fast !

Here's a pic of mine.

I have a '99 vintage CR and those pipes were restrictive. About three years
ago I got the unrestricted pipes from Don. Big difference. I used a small mirror and a bright flashlight and could easily see the baffle with an 1 1/2"
hole. The new pipes are the same diameter as the outlet and had an open
mesh wall instead of solid pipe inside - plenty of room to breathe. They
were louder than the others but if you were easy on the pedal no problem
with too much noise in town - just sounds mean.

....look closely, is that a hairline fracture I see developing aft of the merge collector??

[FUNFER2]

lol,...no. That's where the collector slides into the muffler, and is welded. You can see in the pic below what I mean. No cracks or problems at all. The sound is incredable. Love it. !!!
My buddy says it sounds like a Pro-Stock.
