chum.....those free-flow exhaust pipes look absolutely superb on your Dorothy M :-))


They are typical on some of the larger US built road trucks we see here in Australia..............


6" to 8" OD, #10 gauge tubing - Grade 300 series stainless parent tubing .....with nickel-chromium plating .....they will never rust or corrode %)  just need a regular polishing [every weekend <*< ]

Thank you for your nice comment. Those truck exhaust stacks are common on the big rigs stateside.
