Mike, Nice! The Viking (brittany) blue is a great color. When I had seen the car listed I didn't notice that the pipes stuck out so far. It's a Great idea to move the exhaust so that you can avoid "snake bite". It would still be a good idea to lift the kids out of the car. You don't even have to touch those side pipes to get burned just get close and they will get you. Please don't ask me how I know.

Jim

The very reason why when building my car we clearanced it for undercar exhaust.Made clearance in two places,one under the seats for mufflers, the other, cross member where frame goes up over rearend cutout to give pipes more road clearance.Lowest part of car is the bell housing flange.Also had to use a clutch cable rather than linkage on the big block.Not a fan of hydraulic clutch! Exhaust sounds great and for me the cars lines seem to stand out more without side exhaust.Good Luck

Unique tends to set them up this way... it is both for ground clearance and to keep the heat out from under the car. However they have set them up more to the original. I plan to do mine with a more original pipe setup as you want to change yours. I have photos of this setup.


If I remember correctly, there are some theads over on the Unique forum that deal with mounting the sidepipes... but I can't remember exactly... maybe something about hard vs. soft mounting points... Join the family, check it out, and post your question over there. In fact, see ya over there!
