Cool 60 in. lakepipes

Here is a pic of my PT with the 60 in. lakepipes, I chose the 60's just because I think they look better then the 70's.

I liked the 70" because they looked good along the whole length of the undercarriage between the wheels.

I have the 60" pipes with the triple Lake outlets. I got the 60's because I saw pictures of the 70's on some cruisers and if it wasn't a close up they looked more like a chrome step bar running the whole lenght of the car. I just wanted them shorter so you could tell where they ended and I got the triples because, to me, the most eye catching part of the pipes are the outlets.

Personally, I'm not into lake pipes, but if I were to put some on Cranbaby, I'd go for either the Moon pipes or these from King of Dice:



What I really like about the King of Dice lake pipes are the flamed outlet covers:



Now, that's cool.

I selected the 60" lake pipes from Mooneyes because they fit well under my E & G running boards.

Beware!!
Some of the lakepipes are crome steel and they could rust, they are also the cheapest.
The best ones to get are the polished stainless steel or crome covered stainless steel, but you will pay more for them, but if you use your car every day it would be worth it as they would not rust.
