I think it's Lakes(with the s)....we called them lakes...I believe that
lakes
was a manufacturer..and the plate on the end said lake or lakes..they were
like a 'cut out exhaust'..By the way OLD GUYS RULE(:>)...there were other
cool
custom items for the TR3..like the VISTA GRILL..all tubular..realy clean
custom look
