Should I put side pipes on my shoebox?

No. They look better on a longer car. At least I think so.

 

I vote no, it has a nice clean look to it the way it is.

 

Put me in the NO category. Nice looking car, I like the louvers.

 

No. Normally I would say "do it the way you want-it's your car", but in this case, it's already done right. Putting side pipes on it would subtract from it's clean look.

 

I'm with the majority---looks better w/o them.

 

that car is way too clean to do anything else on the outside to it

 

one more vote for no sidepipes.

 

Not a big fan of them.

 

I like side pipes on Customs,,,but I will have to go with the majority here,,,NO. HRP

 

I have to go with the majority on this one; I've seen them on other Shoeboxes and I did not care for them at all. You have a good looking ride, don't goof it up.

The Rock

 

the body does not lend it self well to side pipes.

can it be done right? yup.

the body is too short and round for them to fit correctly look at post 5 that is a car that would be killer with side pipes

 

Here is a picture of my dad's 51 with pipes on it.

No.

Lowered in the rear with skirts...maybe. But even then, I don't like 'em that much, especially the the fake ones with 3 outlets. And I like the sound of a full exhaust out the back better anyway.

Nice looking Ford.

 

I vote no. I toyed with putting them on my avatar but I keep talking myself out of it.

 

I would not on that car

And I wouldn't mess with the rake or height either. It is perfect the way it is - don't make a cartoon!

 

No , It looks great.

 

no way jose

 

I agree, car has a very nice clean look to it. I think the side pipes would detract from the elegance of the cars style.

 

Nope...........Centurion9

 

Another no.

 

I like side pipes. If you do put a shield so your girl doesn't burn her nylons., it will make any evening and early one....

Great looking car

 

NO

Lakepipes make a car look cheaper. Same as fiesta caps and dummy spots.

Your car looks perfect as is, don't mess with it.

 

Yes to sidepipes but what do I know

 

Great looking car - put them on, but not hooked up - then you can run them when you want, or take them off when you get tired of them!!

 

Here is my old sedan with side pipes.

 

If that were mine I wouldn't mess with it. Simple beauty.

 

I had the long sidepipes on my '51 Victoria for awhile.......decided I didn't like them....

Anybody wanna buy a nice pair of long chrome ones?

CB

 

Needs nothing but gas and some windshield time. Perfect. I don't think it would hurt it, but I don't think it would add anything either.

 

I think it looks perfect as-is... no side pipes.
