I asked the Inliners on this board to help me figure out if these big pipes would look good. You spoke and I listened. I cut and ground the 6" diameter tips and slipped them in place. I must say, they look pretty good. Now I am used to seeing it all the time with 5" Diameter tips so 6" doesn't look to odd to me. I'm sure a first timer would gasp at the size of these "squirrel condos", but I'm going to keep them on. I am going to get them plated and fitted so they won't vibrate off at speed.
Thanks for the feedback.

They do look good tucked up under the rear pan!
They will surely make people wonder just what is in that thing that needs such big pipes.
Have you thought of having them coated black? They'd be more subtle but when discovered would still produce the OMG!! comments.

Nice job,
Mike

Good job, a real 'eye catcher'.

Hope you don't get a bunch of tickets.

I too think they look pretty intimidating. I hope I don't have to go into any steep driveways!

When in doubt go biggg!! I'm thinking my 53' 2ton could use some field exhaust that size. Nice work---that is about the most intimidating exhaust I've seen.
