Never had a set, but I'm planning to run them on my Ford & didn't know if there were any vendors you guys would recommend (or would recommend that I avoid).
I got my set from Wirth's custom Automotive. Nice people and very fast shipping. They were cheapest I found and that's including shipping. www.wirthscustomauto.com
Jeff, if you buy a set from Hot Rod & Custom Supply, you'll have them the next day. I would imagine that, quality wise, most of the ones out there are made at the same place, and just distributed to all the retail outlets.
the finish quality is pretty low on the ones the sell now. make shure you wax them up real good because living in FL them things are gonna rust like a mother****er. especially if are going to actually hook them up to the exhaust...
I got 'em on the shelf.Will beat anyones price.Plus FREE SHIPPING for HAMB'ers.I ain't shy,I'll pimp myself! eric@vapinc.com
[ QUOTE ] Or you get a set at the swap for $35 like dv8 did. [/ QUOTE ] Now Nate, we both know I'm way too much of a drunk for that 6:00am swapmeet ****. Mike, if yours are in good condition I'm interested. Vap, how much would a new set off the shelf cost? I've never even priced the damned things. The HAMB is making me lazy!
i guess you want the single outlet tip. But what length do you need? I need the same single tip, the type with block off plate. Full length for a 53 Ford, what is that 60" ?
In my opinion, nether one of those cars has long enough pipes. They should start right under the end of the front wheel opening and end right at the front of the rear wheel opening, (carefully located so that the skirt can be removed without first removing the the pipe of course.) The Ford's pipe needs to be about a foot longer. But what the hell do I know...
Sorry for the slow response,I do work once in awhile.. Single tip; 60" $85.00 70" $89.00 80" $92.00 FREE SHIPPING for HAMB'ers Yes that is per pair. Any questions or comments? Send it direct to me...eric@vapinc.com
DrJ You're showin' you age man. They started at the back of the front wheel well and ended at the front of the rear when I was commin' up too. Mike how long are those pipes that you are shipping to KC instead of puttin' on you truck tonight? If you don't use 'em and they're long enough, they'll probably need to end up on the ol' lady's car.
****, that is pretty cheap. I'll probably buy a set from you Vap. Let me get things measured up & I'll shoot you a PM once I know more.
Hey Dr J, when you and I were a wee bit younger you could buy pipes for specific cars. These days you are limited to a few generic lengths unless you are rich enough for a custom set. I dont give a rats *** about someone elses idea of what the HAMB PC Police term "looks"; the only person I need to please is Numero Uno. Anyway it looks like I wont be buying any for awhile now. Broke my leg in 2 places yesterday. Right now Im a doped up grouch which is a huge step above just being a regular grouch. Just ask my wife!
