Side pipes yes or no?
My friend Todd is thinking about adding side pipes to his Vega and he can't decide.
I told him to let me post some pictures so the experts can weigh in.

I am no expert by any means but I think I would go without the sidepipes.

Re: Side pipes yes or no?
That Vega looks fantastic without the side pipes. As much as I, and many others, like V8 Vegas, many people not-in-the-know would wonder why somebody would put loud "outside" pipes on a station wagon. By the way, I love the rear tire size and wheel selection.

I dunno. I kinda like it either way. For the side pipes, I would have to have that Vega sitting a little taller with a stinkbug stance.

and as cool as those Thrush downward pipes are, I would go with the Vette C3 pipes or chrome header style units |

My mom had a '69 Corvette with a 427 and sidepipes, but she sold it before I was born. I say go for it!

Re: Side pipes yes or no?
Those Thrush sidepipes are totally 70's Day Two Coolness and they look good, but for my money, nothing beats the good ol' Hooker Showtubes. Either way, looks cool.

Re: Side pipes yes or no?
My vote is to keep them off. IMO, the sidepipes are a bit too much for the little Vega Wagon...it makes it too busy and takes away the nice stealth like stance of this car.

Nice lookin car. I feel sidepipes look yucky on just about any car.
