Default Hooker Sidemount Exhaust, 2238HKR

Does anyone know if the Vette style sidemount exhaust would work on my 69 Nova, since the Nova and Camaro has been obsoleted? Or does anyone know someone at Holley that could pull some MAGIC?

Jed, Here is the story and more pics on the 73 Z you asked about. In the late 70's I traded my 63 Split Window for the Z that a friend of mine owned. I had the Vette for sale at the time for $6k. As you see from the one pic I wrecked the car and then I decided to do the custom paint job. A friend of mine was the local art teacher who also did custom paint jobs and now he is a tatoo artist, his name is Dick Cummins, he still does tatoo's at one of the Carlisle events. Attached are a few pictures of other paint jobs he did on my 79 Chevy Van, and my 58 K model Sportster. You guys will appreciate the paint work on the van, especially the back, he charged me $1500. for the paint job. He took his art students over to his shop during class to help paint the murals on the van. Enjoy! The sad end to the Z story, I eventually sold the Z to a local guy on a Friday, and the very next day on Sat. night he lost control of the car and took it over an embankment and totalled it.

Some really awsome pictures. That is a very sad story about the Z.

I was wondering if the sidemount exhaust headers that Hooker still has could be modified in a way that they would work on the Nova/Camaro? I'm pretty certain that the only major difference was clearance for the steering gearbox.

Anyone have any insight?
