Side Pipes

[SapphireGTS]

Hi all. I have been out for a while.

I am thinking of doing side pipes on my 01 GTS for sheer loudness and shock value. Has any one done this and what did it take?

I searched and found some old posts about sidepipes but I dont want OLD opinions. If I do side pipes I will have a slightly used 3 inch Corsa for cheap. Rolled tips and all!

Also my buddy is tearing into his ls1 camaro and am concerned that we will be able to hold his own against me. I have done the typical mods. Corsa, super high flow cats, filters, tubes. I want something I can do my self. I can turn a good wrench

Any ideas.

Cheers

Keith

I know TNT sells the new side sills for side pipes.

If you do it please take tons of pics and keep us posted of how it came out.

The only problem i foresee is what to do with the big hole left in the rear of the car???
other than that it sounds like a cool idea!!

good luck
JIM

i have a 2001 gts i converted. I called jon b at parts rack, gave him my sills and $1000 and he gave me Gen 1 sills. I cut out the stock resenator and put a high flow bellenger muffler in place w/ a 4 inch tip cut to the angle of the sill. It looks great but is loud inside the car. So i took out the bellenger muffler and put the stock resenator back in and it made it just about right. Still a little load inside. I don't mind the whole in the rear. I just joke and tell people it is for haling my jet ski. to do it aGAIN i would trade the sills only for '95 sills for better cooling, leave the stock resenator in the sill,buy just the 90 degree bend w/ o2 sensor from bellenger and some nice tips cut at an angle. Labor this way will be cheap. I had midas do it. $1500 tops.
