OK so i have seen so many pic.s of side pipes for my mav and i want them so much! Anyone know of where i can get any?
Jegs and Summit sell Patriot side pipes kits for around 200. I loved mine when I had them, and they performed well and sounded GREAT. I lost them when I put headers on since the inlet would have to snake around too much to get me free flow to the pipes. But I bet you could use an X- or H-pipe then run the inlets back up front and work them that way... It would be a lot of plumbing, and/or you would have to use restrictive sized tubing in order to bend it that sharp.
Do you try and see how much it hurt performance? I didn't notice any seat of the pants loss when I changed back to regular exhaust pipes. I sure a Dyno could see the difference, but on the street it feels the same.
you could run the covers and a fake pipe up to the front of the covers and then have the real pipe angle back towards where the side pipes would dump. that way they have the same look but no restrictive crazy bends going on. also this way the covers wont get hot and scar your or your girls calves when you get out of the car.
here is mine just before I took them off. These were 60" Shielded Patriots. I think the 70" set would look better, just 6" further forward and back.
yup, Cragars. 15x8 rear, 15x7 front, and at that time, I had 245/60 on the back and 195/60 front. Now have 255/60 and 215/60, and dropped the car down onto them. Oh, yeah, and about dropping the car. After dropping the car, I drug those sidepipes on EVERYTHING!!!
i have set i took off my Comet. i live in Sumter SC, if you pick them up you can have them for $40.00 i attached photos of when they were on my car.
Love the cragars man, and i can def. see that happening i have trouble drag'n my traction bars on everything already and the side pipes would be just as low im sure.
I have friends with them who said come get them but I'd have to sandblast and paint them and I am incredibly lazy.
