I like them, they're different.

MXmaniac · 05-16-2009, 04:23 PM

I wouldn't, but its your truck. To me sidepipes are tacky.

**ChiefRocka** · 05-16-2009, 04:49 PM

I like them too....Now you need some flame-throwers !!!

Bazooka · 05-16-2009, 04:53 PM

Your choice but I would say nay..

bigthurm44 · 05-16-2009, 05:11 PM

put them on!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and add a flame thrower kit!!!!!!

hewlett2002000 · 05-16-2009, 05:24 PM

i like sidepipes on our trucks but those are too big. they would look weird i think.

19GMC63 · 05-16-2009, 06:18 PM

I generally don't like sidepipes on anything, and this is no different. They are HUGE... would look like you took stacks and put them under your truck.

You beat me to it. They would make great stacks. Too big for sides. jmo

daverod · 05-16-2009, 08:35 PM

stacks w/ flames

I wish I had photo shop.

steverino66 · 05-16-2009, 08:52 PM

uh-uh. nyet. nein.

protrash64 · 05-16-2009, 09:14 PM

I cant say I'm a huge fan of the look, but what if you sawed them off so they end around the back of the cab area. Mite look a little better to me, just a suggestion.

hewlett2002000 · 05-16-2009, 10:01 PM

heres a pic i found. like these, but if i were to put them on my truck they would end right behind the cab.

dolphman88 · 05-17-2009, 02:18 AM

gah... idk.. i like the whole side pipes and flame thrower idea. but i dont wanna look like an idiot. ill have to think about it a lil more

**scotts62** · 05-17-2009, 04:53 AM

Ah leave the side pipes for the stingrays

**ChiefRocka** · 05-17-2009, 09:48 AM

I though about adding to my look by adding some functional mini-stacks coming out of the bed.....flowing thru some 12" glasspacks and running some spark-plugs...

Wonder what the SJPD would think about that ??

hotrodhomi · 05-17-2009, 10:33 AM

nay

just have them stick out a couple of feet past the back of the truck and use them to burn the paint off those annoying tailgaters

oldblu65 · 05-17-2009, 02:59 PM

I have to go with the " Nay " vote !

monolith · 05-17-2009, 03:41 PM

I think you should do what you like with them- that's how some of the coolest looks in customizing have come about- people trying stuff that THEY think looks good.

I have to confess that I have a fondness for both side pipes AND stacks- just so you know my bias.

and- if you end up not going with them- you can always send them to me.

1Bad62Pro/Street · 05-17-2009, 07:30 PM

On a truck. . . . Not my taste. But that's just me. Everyones taste is different. That's the way the good Lord made us. Stack on a stepside doesn't look bad. Or just run the exhaust in front of your rear tires like I have now. Zoomies is cool! Exhaust cut outs a must! Still thinking on what I want to do. Either way. . . They will here me coming. Just remember the Heat that comes off them. Don't see them much anymore though. .

cheavy metal · 05-17-2009, 07:43 PM

shortened up maybe. now as stacks...way cool.through the box floor either side of the window slash cut just above the roof.flame throwers.

65fallon · 05-17-2009, 09:09 PM

my 65 had them on it when i got it[attach]462510[/attach
