I can agree that nothing sounds like a good set of laker pipes. Even with my small block cobra, the lakers sound awesome, even with cat's in place. I know what a pain the butt it is to keep them clean, and not drag them on everything. Burns are a concern and I have to be really careful who I let get into and out of the car, even had a friends kid try to use them as a running board and burnt himself. What kind of space is under our crossfires? I would be afraid of dragging pipes if we put side pipes on them, do we have enough room to put short side skirts and put the exhaust through them so they didn't just hang out?
