Sooooooo...... street or S/C? That is one TOUGH choice. After ten years of this stuff, I still haven't made up my mind. If you want to go S/C, here's something to look at.
I've got two sets of side-pipes. One set is REAL loud and the other set sounds like stock 09 Mustang stuff. I can switch in an hour the night before an event. (and a couple of bourbons). I like to drive so the quiet pipes are perfect for the loooooong cruise. If I'm off to the track (as an attendee) and want to draw attention, then I throw on the loud pipes. Either way, I still like the S/C look best although it's a VERY fine line between the two. Contradictory to all of that... 289 FIA, loud, Webers, and raw is my thrill.

Here's another sweet Hurricane. I photoshopped the arch under the door sill. It's otherwise straight across from wheel to wheel which isn't right IMHO.
no arch...

'Street is Neat.
Superformance lends itself to being a Roaster very well.
not so sure about the others, I am working on a CSX roadster, but that too may end up with sidepipes.

Almost wants to make me take the sidepipes off my ERA, such a nice, clean, and crisp sweeping side body.

It's really very simple. Sidepipes are generally muffled - usually via a glasspack insert. Todd has two sets of pipes that he can interchange at will - one set is louder and less muffled than the other.

yup...I bought a set of side-pipe center sections that are "auger type", These have no glass pac mufflers but rather a simple auger like spiral in the center section. I had them welded up by ERA to the existing FFR header piece, added a turn-out at the end, and fitted them up. They are LOUD and no glass pac to deteriorate over time. I also bought a set of "Super Quiet Sidepipes" from Breeze Automotive for the FFR. I run these 90% of the time. They are awesome. I drive a lot in my car and the loud pipes tend to irritate. The quiet pipes simply sound like a healthy muscle car and are silent at highway cruising. These are conventional glass wrap type mufflers in the center section. I seem to feel a tad more torque down low from the quiet pipes . I'm trying to save what I have left of my hearing. I play the drums.
