Senior Guru Boston, MA for the most part :) 7763 Posts Member since: 2007/12/30 0:00	I thought this was worth sharing Quote: 91GreatWhiteShark; I custom made my own side pipes for my 91. I still have all three stock cats and it required some mandrel bends from the "Y" connector. As you mentioned, the "Side Effects" kit is no longer available. I bought some aftermarket C2 side pipe covers and modified them to fit the C4. Aside from the custom work, I did notice nice gains with the exhaust. I eliminated the mufflers, so the only thing that makes the exhaust somewhat quiet are the cats. It has a nice deep rumble and drone from the interior. Sorry I don't have any pics of the actual exhaust, but you get the idea.

The sidepipe covers are a 2 piece set but the upper piece is missing on this car.
