I loved the sidepipes I had on my '66 Vette. Sounded great, looked good and I never got burned nor did any of the gals that road in the car. I think that's one of those urban myths. And the other comment is correct, they are baffles not mufflers. I am not sure what the flow rate was but they sure didn't slow down my little 331/4spd combo. Damn - wish I had never sold that car.

Urban myth? Not quite...I had Hooker sidepipes on my 63 Corvette; they looked great, sounded great, but could be lethal if you're (a) not wearing long pants and (b) not paying attention getting out of the car after a drive...and I've still got the scar to prove it. Trust me, it did not tickle.
