Default Pipe design help???
Swooped in on a thunderheader on a game of paper, rock, scissors. I can't decide how to build the pipes to it. What you guys think?(minus the fact I can't draw for d1ck) I've got a 23" rim going on soon too. No I doubt I will wash it any time soon either. Thanks

That doesn't look like any thunderheader I have ever seen. Is there a heat shield on it covering up the rear of the pipe?
