    My headers are rusting out and a tailpipe came loose the other day. Been thinking about Lake pipes on this. Will start with a block hugger header instead of the Mustang style on it now. so routing forward won"t be too bad.How would it look?

    Sitting on that much rake it's just screaming for a set of scavengers. Now we'll see how many remember what I'm talking about.:)

    With that stance, it would look great! Go for it.

    It needs 4 upswept pipes on each side or 4 scavenger pipes aiming downward towards the rear tires.

    Personally I hate lake pipes, but they'd look the part on your car truck van thing-a-ma-jig.

    If you're on a budget, you could use some old drive shafts and have some cheap scavengers.

    I'm no artist... squint your eyes and you'll see what I mean.

    Upswept "Zoomies" or scavengers and Cragars...yes please.
    Lake pipes & cragers? No.

    I remember seeing one of those with fake zoomies in front of the the rear wheels. I think those would be better than lakes pipes.
     
  15. Thrush outsiders running along the top of the box to the tailgate. It would be different and it would direct noise and exhaust straight into the open windows of cars on both sides while in summer traffic, way cool. It would also deter punks from stealing things out of the box if they have to reach over hot pipes, armpit burns hurt like a bitch, makes deodorant sting like crazy.
