side pipes

Since stacks would just be to redneck even for me (remeber this is a Bronco) I am thinks side pipes. I am gonna do a 4" body lift this summer and I will be running the pipes between the body and frame if I can find 3" or bigger side pipes. I have searched the web but seems nobody has anything bigger than 2 1/2" pipes. Anybody know where I might find some? I think it would look sharp with these what do you think?

That is an idea i hadn't thought of. Would be sweet, big 4 or 5" stacks on their sides and wide open. That would be loud and make people give me a wide berth lol.

That would be neat. I would have one coming out on each side. To bad my fuel tank is in the way. It gives me something to think about. I could put it out in front of the tank.

Man a 6.9 in a Bronco with sidepipes. I bet you would have the only Bronco in the country like that. I like that idea. Do it.

With the 4" body lift I will have room to run the pipes striaght off the manifolds between the body and the frame. It will then already be on the outside of the frame. I might use some 3" woven flex pipe so it don't hit the body or frame when the engine torques.
