OK, have a decision to make...

Scenario 1:
Stay with true dual exhaust and get chambered exhast to give me the side pipes sound without the look. With these I can use the stock exhaust bezels in the rear.

Scenario 2:

Replace the rear bezel cutouts with a filler panel that is painted to match my car.

And then get the side pipes and fiberglass covers.

I'm stuck in a dillema on what to do and I need some suggestions for making a decision.. Thanks for the help!

Id go with the side pipes.. I think they are bad ass looking.. Exspecially on those older vettes. It should have been stock on them, they just dont look right with out them.. Thumbs Up

I also think the sidepipes would enhance the Vette to the next level. Tom, would happen to have a picture of a Vette with the rear bezel filler in place? Maybe I'm just jealous that your car has a side exhaust kit available and mine doesn't! Very Happy

I searched for a few hours last night on the corvetteforum message boards for some example of the rear filler bezel in place. This is the best I could find. You can kind of see the reaer with the filler plate in place with the 69 style side pipes and covers. looks pretty damn sweet to me! Cool

Way to resurrect this post from the dead. Over a year old and with side pipes on my Vette already. I love my side pipes though!

I had to do a double take on that one. Thought I was stuck in a time warp there for a second.
