Under body exhaust
Hi, I will have under body exhaust but I will also put on the side pipes, unused and just for show. Made of 4" stainless and polished, looks absolutely fantastic. If you do this then it makes the car look more like the original. If you want to try the look get a piece of pipe, (pvc down down pipe will do) and hold it along the side of your car. Use your imagination and then make he decision. If you do go with the side pipes then have under body pipes finish before they come out the back of the car, this way you would not see them, it's abetter look.

If you do this then it makes the car look more like the original. To try it get a pieced of wood or something and stand it on bricks along the side of the car. Then let your mind run wild to emagine the wood to be the real thing, it worked for me.

Got a picture of the car, I would like to see what it looks like. The problem with dysfunctional sidepipes is you're spending $$ to hang dead weight on the car, what do those dummy SS pipes weigh? Nothing wrong with underneath exhaust, get it out of your head that it makes it look "more original", these cars came both ways back in the 60's. |

Interesting thread, does anyone have pictures of the underside with under car exhaust? Curious about the size & shape of the pipes, how were routed and what muffler fits.
Right now I'm thinking about getting a build started in the fall/winter and I always liked the profile of the car without side pipes. Just my personal taste.
Thanks
Dave

Gorgeous car! I've seen a few with the undercar exhaust. SPF, so far has done a great job with it.
Awesome!

Note that SPF does the undercar with stainless pipes and puts "stand-off" heat shields between the mufflers and the floors with a .5" air gap to reduce heat transfer.
We have sold several roadsters and they can sound very nice: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v...type=2&theater

I worship side-pipes...
Loud, smelly, and dangerously hot! Sounds like a Cobra to me 
(I do appreciate and respect the effort of others to tame the snake. Ol' Shelby started with a street car after all. We all buy these things with different goals in mind.
If I had a child with special needs, I would also think of him/her first, like the OP does. If it would be easier, I would get a different car, perhaps more user friendly. If I had to have a Cobra, I would definitely get a street configuration, or at the very least, underbody pipes.
The car was/is/always will be a hybrid, a Frankenstein of sorts. Whatever you do to it, pretty much goes...)
Cheers!
