My advice...use dummy side pipes.

1. Side pipes rob horsepower
2. They are loud
3. They limit your street cruising range because of the noise.
4. They WILL burn friends and family
5. They will burn other children who stand on them.
6. They are illegal on the left side of the car.

If 5 above happens then find a good lawyer because 6 will cause your insurance company to not accept liability.

I don't know about the NT but I'm told in WA that you "purchase" an exemption to allow sidepipes. This does not absolve the owner from litigation.

I think a good lawyer wouldn't have too much trouble proving negligence in the NT either.

Frankly. If i was running live side pipes I'd be getting into the habit of baby-sitting the car until they cooled off to be relatively safe.

As with most things, too late after it happens.
