Just wondering how many of you have Lake style pipes on your pickups ? im thinking about putting some on my 50 chevy 3100 all along the edge of the running boards as i already have a side exit exhaust each side, so wouldnt be too much to make them longer and in 2" instead of 3" + they are already
can you suggest how please ? lol im not keen on the looks of it how the exhaust comes out the front wings as it is now and kicks up all the fumes into the cab, so if i take them further down the sides it would get rid of it where it should im also looking at getting them in steel and wrapping them in white exhaust wrap so for one, you wouldnt burn yourself on them and 2 for looks
Run em up near the front stake pocket, then down along/under the bed rail and with the turn out at the end near the rear stake pocket!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xHf_LFzmzU0 seen that already done and not keen myself but thanks for the advice and help Chad im looking at getting my chevy to look something similar to the one in the video as i love it the look not the exhaust sorry guys if i wasnt clear in my post
They don't look good coming outta the running board, look better coming out near the lower part of the bed close to the pocket. Posted from the TJJ App for iPhone & iPad
They wont be coming out of the running board, they will come from the manifold, down out the front wings and along the outside of the boards with a kick out at the end or slash cut
dont like belly burners sorry going to get a price off a friend this week for the lake pipes as im wrapping them in heat wrap too in white
If thats the case just make some..you're going to cover the chrome with wrap any how-save some pounds (£'s)
If you already know that is what you want, it really makes no difference what anybody else is doing. Just do it & like it!
they would be made out of stainless so no shiny bits they wouldnt cost a lot to have made and not worth me putting in serious hours to do it when he has all the bending gear anyways but i know what your saying
its not the point of me doing it and liking it, i am doing it and i will like it i asked if other people have got any pics or done it to theres sorry if this thread seems to of gone the wrong way from my original question on my first post about it but i did ask if anyone has them in the first place thanks for all the comments though as you can see im fairly new to this site as far as posts go so this is a new venture for me as never built an old american classic before, just old vw's and such like
I like the look of your truck and since you're not into vertical stacks behind the cab, looking at your rear fenders, I see some sort of fishtail ends coming out of the middle of the rear fenders. I have NO clue of how or if you could do that, but I think chromed slit exhaust openings in the back of the rear fenders could be eye catching. fwiw.
