BlkBird, you sound pretty familiar with sidepipes on 2nd gens. Do you have experience mounting them against the rockers? A few months back I picked up a NOS set of Hooker 4222 sidemount headers for 2nd gen Firebirds. I also found on Ebay a pair of unused chrome Hooker sidepipes which are about the length you said. I'm just not sure how to mount them on the rockers so there is no vibration or burning of the paint along the rockers. I'd like to get them tucked up tight to the body of my 73 Esprit. Any advice anyone can give? I also want to get the headers coated at Jethot, but I don't know how that would look going into chrome pipes. Would a black coating look better?
