C2 sidepipes

[Ernest C.]

I have a set of sidepipes that I think are original. The one pipe has a gm sticker with part number 3872971, but the other has no sticker. Can someone tell me whether these are originals?
thank you

Ernie - Bought my 65 30 horse Coupe back in '85, needing a ton of work. Around 1990, along with other options I added side exhaust and at that time a friend was a mechanic working at the local Chevy Dealer. He ordered up a set of GM 2.5 inch side exhaust pipes for a Smallblock. I just went out to look, since I have the 65 up on jackstands while rebuilding the power steering control valve and on the underside of the drivers side exhaust pipe it's stamped: 'GM-3872971-W'.

Mike, thanks very much. I thought these were original but I just needed confirmation. Whwn I looked again there is a w stamped on the rear bracket as well.
Thanks again
Ernie
