RIGHT SIDE:
1. Remove the spark plugs, dipstick tube, and (if equipped) air conditioning compressor.
2. For 1965-67 Corvettes, remove the rocker panel molding. For 1968-74 Corvettes, remove the screws on the bottom of the molding and loosen the top screw.
3. Follow the same procedure as the left side (from step 4 to step 9) to complete the installation.
NOTE: If equipped with air conditioning, it may be necessary to modify the compressor bracket, according to Figure D.
4. Replace the spark plugs and dipstick tube. Connect the battery, start the engine, and check for leaks. Be sure all brake lines, fuel lines, and electrical wires have sufficient clearance. Reroute, as necessary. When finished, give your car a test drive, checking carefully for any new noises. After several days driving, retighten all bolts.

if you were under the impression the side pipe muffler inserts were not restricting power try a dyno and careful engine re-tune with them removed, you may be amazed at the difference in power above 4000 rpm.
