OK, opening a can of worms, but, What is so Great about the General Lee?

Okay, this is the 3rd time I'm reading this in a reply... what's wrong with being a Corvette owner?

don't worry , your NOT in the ELITE vette owners, your tires stick out past the wheel wells and we know that's not "correct", so your just a regular "joe" like the rest of us............. sorry

Yep, I work on the "Elite" Vette owners Club cars. Holy sh*t what a bunch. President is a REAL Douchebag. Facebook is NOT his friend.
Out of about 45 Members, only about two are actually pretty cool, but like the GL owner, he has to defend himself by saying "No, I'm NOTHING like the others"...
One has a 200-something, 427 LS Vette that requires the dipstick be carried around in a little "Condom" in the trunk, as if left in when running, will wrap up around the crank. Nice.....Most drive stock Vettes, but like to name drop ALOT. "Lingenfelter" seems to be their favorite.

As with Hemi's, there are some that are cool, but many are total douches.

Would the collector be unique to each vehicle?

Headers are engine and vehicle specific.

[Ghoste]

Yeah, thats what I meant. (should have phrased that differently)

[mauve66]

when i searched summit they didn't even have a listing for mopar so i guess they would have to be custom ($$$$$$) made
i know i have seen mopars with side pipes but don't remember the multi-tube collector thingy in the front of it

[Ghoste]

Someone supplies them somewhere.  I have no idea where but somebody has to making them.

[JB400]

I think you'd have to make your own headers.  Plenty of kits available, just need lots of patience and a welder

[Ghoste]

The headers remain the same, it is just the collectors that change.

[mauve66]

here's a pic of what i remember, no multi-tube front section

maybe it would only look good on a corvette due to body lines/contour behind front wheel and in front of door??

[mauve66]

after looking up pics of vette side pipes on a motor but out of a car i understand why they look that way and mopars can't do it due to location of the motor in relation to the collector

[Ghoste]

Yeah, I think most side pipes just have a pair of 90 degree elbows to get the pipe over to the collector don't they?

[BananaDan]

Since 99% of these Corvettes have Chrome side pipes I bought the Black Hooker super competitions... and now people ask me why I didn't bought the Chrome pipes.  

Nice Vette Lennard, my favorite generation.  The side pipes look killer.  I also like the license plate on your Charger!

Thanks Dan

Can't you for once hide your jalousy Richard Mytur Cranium Binsdirty?

Its so much harder to bash Corvettes because they came in a lot more colors than GL's, hey, wait a minute.  What color was the GL again?

[bill440rt]

I think it was orange.

Corvettes are better because they are made of plastic.  They don't rust like those crappy ol' General Lees.

Some people like apples, some dont. Some people like oranges, some dont. Get over it already! To each their own. If i want to paint my car pink, by god, thats MY choice not yours!!!!! And if you dont like it? I wont lose any sleep over it, cuz i did not make it for YOU BUT FOR ME!!!!!! Stop the hating/bashing and do something positive in your life for someone else! Mom has spoken, hope you listened!

P.S. Now, go brush your teeth, and go to bed!

In my 30's and mom is STILL yelling at me!  Stop yelling!!!  

I will confess that I sought to buy or make a GL in '94.  Luckily I found THIS car orange and with quasi-vector wheels.  Fast forward to a few months ago I was repainting the car and agonized for MONTHS trying to decide what color to paint it.  Dog-gone it, the only color I could come up with is the same damn color it was when I bought it.  I haven't been into the GL thing for decades, but I love the orange...

[JB400]

There is no way I'm calling skip Dad.

[Ghoste]

Now Lisa, you know we're all just ribbing each other for fun here.  No harm no foul.

[mrsskip68]

Well Ghoste, just remember that Santa is watching. So if you dont want to end up on the "naughty" list you better play nice!  That goes for all you boys! If your bad you may not get any Mopar parts this year!

[JB400]

Is it too late to start behaving?

[Cooter]

Now Lisa, you know we're all just ribbing each other for fun here.  No harm no foul.

All fun and games till someone becomes a "Richard Cranium" about it.
