5998DownUnder

Like these ones for another car project I have going. If anyone knows where I can get a set, please let me know.


Thank you.

Those are awesome. Thrush used to have a 45" glasspack available. That's what I installed on my 71 98. Now they only make them up to 34.5" long.

Thanks for that, I'm looking at those at the moment, seem to be the most complete set for my budget, They should come up alright though.


Was hoping someone here has a good set laying around they would want to part with or put me onto a set.

Those look nice...but I'm wondering what kind of VW Van needs side pipes?

marxjunk

the secret is out about them..around here, they are expensive and extremely hard to get..

Ive had 2 NOS sets in the last 2 years...and you dont want to know what they brought..

5998DownUnder

No VW here, just this.


See what you mean being a VW though.

What is the diameter of these things roughly?

oldcutlass

Around here no one puts side pipes on their cars anymore. Have not seen a set since the 80's other than Corvettes.

thrush pipes are huge...i mean huge....they bring insane amounts of money...

you just havent noticed yet

Whats huge or insane amounts of money?? Talk to me... I'll invest.

Not many around Toronto either, as mentioned a few vettes and barracuda's.

well..they are the all time best looking aftermarket side pipes made..and people in their 40s and 50s remember them and are clamoring to relive their young adulthood

its the new black..the cats meow..the roosters socks...and extremely hard to get..they rot in half..

vans and disco era car owners love them..

and now that i have explained them...thats it..they are over..jumped the shark...etc etc..they are too hip for the common man and therefore out of style as of right now...

and hipsters suck....well..i just added that for me..hipsters suck..and they ruin all the cool stuff for us normal people..oh sorry...rambling again

i dont know why they are so cool..but i know NOS bring 1200 to 1500 a set...i havent followed them for a year...so maybe the fad they are is over..but around here....in high demand

used bring alot..too much...but they are in high demand..and i am surprised someone like The Parts Place isnt scrambling to make them..

I personally never liked thrush side pipes on cars, however the old corvette style spaghetti headers and side pipes are cool.

marxjunk

yes..i love the corvettte "showpipes" in chrome..really cool


i had a 78 Mustang II KING COBRA..son,,,with a 302 when i was a kid.and the first thing i did was put thrush pipes on them( yeah i know..i was kinda goofy then..but it was a sub compact with a V8 and i was the coolest kid on the block..for about 2 weeks..)
