sidepipes

If its the ones I’m thinking of, they’ve been out of production for more than a decade.
They were side pipes that looked like they had a fiberglass painted cover.
The “pipes” were actually castings that routed the exhaust forward and then back to exit behind the door in front of the wheel well:
Finding a used set is about your only option for those.
Better off without them anyways. They’ve all about looks, they kill off power because they are restrictive with all the bends and turns to bring the exhaust forward and then back to the openings.
They don’t exit the engine bay up front because the frame rails are so deep, you’d be crushing exhaust pipes on every speed bump and pothole...thats why they route forward and then back to the openings.

You might be able to find something similar if you search enough. But the company that used to sell those doesn’t make them anymore. Guys find them from time to time at places like ebay, swap meets, etc.
Like most older cars, a lot of the performance/appearance stuff you used to be able to buy aftermarket are gone.
When these cars were new, people would buy this stuff left, right and center. Once the model goes “obsolete”, the market share shirnks to almost nothing and it’s just not profitable to make them anymore. They all move on to the next “popular” model, usually the next generation of whatever they make stuff for.
