Challenger T/A side pipes..who has 'em on their Charger?

[71ChallengeHer]

TA and AAR pipes were legal because of the length. The length of the pipes are the same as the ones that come out the back.

Were there not some states (Connecticut or Maine or Mass or ??) that did not allow the TA cars to be sold with side exhaust even when they were new?

Sorry it took so long to get a photo up, i wanted to get my paint job done before I posted any more picks of my sled.

I have em. Well, not exactly T/A pipes. They are 4" after market pipes I got on EBAY.  440, headers, 2-1/2" pipes, glass packs, 4"tips. It's um....kinda loud.

BTW, I dig side exhaust. No tips but just the exhaust pipes.

i had side exit exhaust pipes on a ford pick up that i hotrodded back in the late 80s early 90s,i never liked the sound-when budget allowed i ran pipes out the back under the bumper,sounded so much better!

That paint job is cool. When did you have it done or did you do it? What paint brand also?

[74-StreetMachine]

I didn't paint it. I did all the body work and priming and block sanding, and more priming and block sanding, and more priming and block sanding. A couple of friends of mine painted it. I was going for the early 70s funny car look with a bit of an 80s pro street thrown in. We searched through some old Hot Rod and Car Craft magazines for some ideas. And also added some of our own. Plus they wanted to " try some stuff". Which looking back now I think that meant smokin a fat one, THEN painting my car.

The paint is all lacquer. Ditzler hugger orange for the base and House Of Color candies for the stripes. Finished off with a mix of pink and gold pearl and several coats of clear. It's kind of hard to make out the date on the receipt, it reads  08/22/85.  So this coming Sept my paint job will be 23 years old! 

To be honest I'm getting a little tired of looking at it and would like something different but I just can't afford it now. Maybe someday I'll get up enough nerve to try painting it myself.
