I think painting it black would have been the only thing to make it sweeter.
Opinions?

like the flames, not to sure about the side pipes though. Love those rims, so subtle yet classy

crazy longhorn 03-21-2003 10:27 PM

Old school is cool....but the top is too tall, & it still has door handles;) crazyL

Longhorn:

You planning on purchasing this one.....?

mooneyes 03-21-2003 10:37 PM

i agree about the black..didnt figure lake pipes would look that good on our trucks...always had the odd thought in the back of my head about a 67 gasser..straight axel up front and all!!! yes i'm a little odd..lol...

crazy longhorn 03-21-2003 11:16 PM

That thing is So SWEET!!! Those laker pipes look bad a$$!!! I know what Im doing to my exhaust now ;) How do those laker pipes sound? And how do the hook up to the headers and are there any mufflers? Thanks for helping me decide!!

lake pipes have mufflers in them...they hook up right off the headers with a "S" pipe type deal

Longhorn Man 03-22-2003 02:03 AM

most of them these day s are fake though.

The ones in the pic appear to be fakes, which is how most of them seem do be done. Note the block-offs on the exit end.

not a big fan of the swirly stuff around the door handle and rear side marker, looks girly IMO


smoothies kinda look cool though

mooneyes 03-22-2003 08:49 PM

some of the lake pipes were hooked to the headers then mufflers and tailpipes hooked into the back of them..then you could uncap the caps you see in the pic for open exhaust

smokekiki 03-23-2003 12:19 PM

Yeah I second what mooneyes said.some used an exhaust cutout,Others had hook ups after the muffler and into the back of the lake pipe.Think I might have to put lakes on the suburban.

Dreaminator 03-23-2003 01:16 PM

I had a pair of lakers on a 51 merc in the late 50s. They were welded into the drop pipe from the flathead headers. Always rewelding because of gravel roads in Wisconsin at the time. Standard lowering at the time was a pack of camels plus one inch. Loved the sparks from the flanges on hard corners. Oh to be a kid again.

Thats a sweet looking truck its pretty much the stand and look im going for i have some wheels very similar to that and same tires. I'm sorry but i cant stand it when people chop the tops like in that photoshoped pic i dont think anything more then 1 1/2 chop looks good. I think GM made a masterpiece and it really doesnt need to be screwed with too much.
