Mike C. Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 who makes sidepipes that look like this in 1/16? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike C. Posted August 29, 2022 Author Share Posted August 29, 2022 I found these. The Rat motor headers will probably work also but it looks like I'll have to extend the pipes a little. 1:12 Chevy Big Block Side Pipe Headers. | 3DScaleParts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike C. Posted August 30, 2022 Author Share Posted August 30, 2022 Maybe I can get some tubing from the hardware store and try some scratch building. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JollySipper Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 AMT recently released the 1/16 '55 Chevy Nomad...........I believe it has side pipes as part of the 'custom' parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey your right! Thanks TJ! I have that model and I just checked the chrome tree and there they are. Wouldn't mind them without the heat shields but they're free so....... Pays to look past my nose.

Stef Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 Hello, @Mike C., you could also try finding the 1/16 1973 Street Charger, or ex-MPC 1/16 427 Cobra. Round 2 last reissued the Charger back in 2011. The exhaust pieces are chrome plated. Beware: the Petty racing version of this kit does NOT have the same side pipes; it includes a NASCAR style exhaust. I don't think the Cobra's exhaust pieces are plated, though I'm not certain. Hope this helps, thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike C. Posted September 9, 2022 Author Share Posted September 9, 2022 Thanks Stef. I have decided to gh with the ones from my 1/16 '55 Nomad kit as they are free, and I don't plan on using them for the Nomad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
