I an thing of putting Hooker Headers with side pipes on my 1973 Z/28 which is white with black strips, what do you guy’s think?

The header tubes are VERY long and the mufflers are extremely, bordering on the absurd, restrictive. I say if you want to go slower bolt em up. It takes a lot different camshaft just to work with the long tubes, let alone try to make power with those silly pencil sized muffler inserts.

I never thought of that, I was just looking for an easy way out, I have no exhaust system on yet. thanks

Although what Rick is said with the inserts made by hooker, there are other companies (JCL) I believe that is making a twist type insert that flows rather well. You can go over to the www.corvetteforum.com (http://www.corvetteforum.com) - C3 Section. Those guys have used them quite extensively.
