Hi, Does anyone know if the 68 Baldwin Motion Camaros had sidepipes?

Thnx, Scott

Hookers and Thrush were both used.

Here's a 1968 photo of a B-M '68 Camaro just after having a set of Corvette sidepipes installed. If memory serves, article stated that special Heddman Headers were used that angled 90-degrees for hook-up to pipes.

That must be an early 68 the nose stripe is 67 style.
All she needs is a set of Vintage Torq-Thrusts... that would be tight!

I don't think anyone made headers to hook up the mid-year corvette side exhaust on a 1st gen. BB Camaro. All of the detailed pictures of Motion cars that I have seen show regular headers and then a custom "S" pipe to hook to the side exhaust. I recall one car that had the standard headers capped and then the Motion crew tapped into the side of the collector to tie it into the side exhaust. Thse methods seem pretty restrictive. At least you could uncap the headers in the latter version.

Here's the article on the Hedman 90-degree headers. From the 10/68 Speed and Supercar.
