Re: side pipes
For the most part many are easy to install, just have your muffler shop connect them to the pipes. Heres another thread with some info about it.

Re: side pipes
I have a 1969 Chevy G-10 108 with 72 inch sidepipes and, I'm running the old stock ramhorn-style exhaust manifolds. You would probably find using a shorty header would be easiest to connect to sidepeipes. I DO get real nice performance from the ramhorns, tho! good Luck!

Re: side pipes
Are those the ones that end up closer to the engine, or do they collect down behind the engine?

Re: side pipes
If youre thinking of the standard "block hugger" headers, they arch outward away from the block just a little more than stock and then swing right back in toward the block only to end abruptly. They also seem to be approximately the same length as factory center dump ram horn style exhaust manifolds, ending close to the top of the oil pan area.

Re: side pipes
most all side pipes have a baffle in then already.
