Default what do you guys think?

Ok so I have been contemplating for a while to put side pipes on my truck or not what do you guys think they would come out right at the back of the front fender and extend 50 in to the bed of the truck like a step . And thoughts on how glasspacks would sound on a rt.

if you can do the pipes on both sides it would look nice.
but i think if its only one side that could be kinda goofy.
is the truck lifted/lowered/stock? lets see some pics.

They will be on both sides it will be true duals and it is a stock height R/T but I do plan to lower it about another 2in .

For some reason the mini glasspacks sound better on daks...the full size ones arent really loud. I had the twin mini's on mine, then i put twin fulls and it was alot softer sounding...I even like the sound of the twin mini's over twin series 40 flows...granted the flows resinate pretty damn good around 1200 rpm....the GP's have a good sound all around... Just my 2 cents

These are going to be full size glass packs and yeah I want it loud but I do leave my neighborhood at about 5 am to get to pt on time . The glass packs come with the pipes they are 50 in patriot side pipes on summit . I'm also thinking about adding cut outs for when I take it to the track . Or when next to an annoying ricer .

true dual glasspacks on a 360 will sound really nice! i have a 4.7l single exhaust flowmaster and i think it sounds pretty good and pretty loud for a 287 block! Post up a vid when you get it done!
