Switching side pipes to under car exhaust?

Under car pipes really lessen's your car's ground clearance, do a thoughtful check of the areas you normally frequent for speed bumps and such before you make the change. There isn't much space to put a muffler under the car.

I can't comment on the difficulty of building an efficient header/collector system on a replica, but doing it on CSX3121 was a pain in the butt. Being something of a purist (even though I had a bunch of underhood stuff chromed), I resisted going to side pipes and had a header system fabbed up. It looked OK, but fitting it around the brake and clutch master cylinder mounting box was tough. In the long run, it probably wasn't a lot better than the horrendous stock, cast exhaust manifolds.

When building my car had the frame clearanced just for under car exhaust,making the bell housing flange the lowest point under the car.Had Stainless chambered mufflers custom made the car sounds and performs great.The Cobra has excellent lines,no matter where the exhaust exits.Undercar exhaust makes getting in and out of the car a non issue,plus you can drive the car hard all day and not have a headache without a helmet.
