My father and I will shortly be getting an 83' Camaro, not sure which model.. but we were wondering any places that sell sidepipes for this year Camaro. Thanks everyone.

I looked into this several years ago for my 84Z, and was unable to find any, specific to the 3rd gens. I've always liked the header/side pipe como., like on the 2nd gen. and Vette's.

One option is to go with the single side pipe/muffler per side and manufacture an 'S' pipe to connect to the headers.

Borla, Hooker, and some others make these in varying lengths and in chrome or painted.

Also the 3rd gen's. don't have an under body frame to hide the pipes behind. So a 3in. pipe will be 3in. less ground clearance.

Eww.....I don't think side pipes look good on a thirdgen (or a fourthgen) at all. I used to have dual exhaust over the axle, now that's something I liked (stupid exhaust place messed it up). :D :( :cry:

If you do go that route, I hope you don't drive on bumpy roads cause your ground clearance is going to be nearly non existant. Oh, I don't think any one place actually sells a kit, you can probably buy the parts separate and peice them together, or get it custom made.

When we get the Camaro i'm pretty sure that we are going to make it into strictly a drag strip car. This was my bro and fathers idea for the sidepipes.. im not sure what they may look like but i'm hoping that it does look good. Thanks again.

It'll probably look alright as long as the car doesn't have any ground effects. Just be careful getting in and out because it'll be real easy to burn your leg.
