Snake pipes are period mx pipes for bikes that normally have underslung pipes, they wrap around the front downtubes & sometimes over the top of the engine exiting near the riders foot or down by the front of the engine

No idea if they work or not although if I had a 74 cylinder for my CZ I'd be able to try 1 out that I've been offered a try of. From what I've read they were ear bleedingly loud

Isn't the term a snail pipe? Or is the snake pipe a faster option ?
