For now just enjoy it the way it is.

They are directly connected to the headers. They are much quieter than I expected them to be. They do "open up" when you get on it, but at idle are low key.

Thanks Guys,

If they are like the Corvette Hooker side pipes, they have slip in mufflers that can be removed to open them up. Don't forget they're there! Most all the 'vette guys and girls have burns on the calves from forgetting. Ask me how I know.

Saw a guy at the McDormans Corvette show years ago with a pair of Levi's with a hole in the back of the leg and embroidered on was an arrow pointing to the hole with the word "Sidepipe". Its like a badge of honor.
