Default convert to undercar exhaust?

Aussie Mike,

Drive by, gee thats a bit rough, how do HD motorcycles and trucks get on. I have a Jerico transmission, I reckon a cop would pick on that here....so when they get rid of all the straight gear boxes in the trucks, which are a major environmental problem ........not, I going to stop now because it just gets silly with beurocratic nonsense!
Getting back to under car exhaust, I have a guy who travels the ditch and is in big demand for work on Aussie Supercars exhausts, he built a system for a GT40, and its as long as the transmission, and almost "too quiet" - so we will have a real quiet road system to keep a low profile, and as we are still allowed at certain events, the straight pipe big noise system! Problem is room so it should be a clever system.

Make to most of motoring, as I think we can still do it the same as the 70's 80's etc still, but I reckon thats all going to change in 20 - 30 years, and I wont be concerned about it so much then!

When I initially built my car I had the FFR 4-into-4 headers and side pipes. Sounded good but LOUD. I put about 3100 miles on my car with the original side pipe setup. But a 375-mile drive to Steamboat Springs, Colorado, in June of 2004 is what really prompted me to go with an under car exhaust system. A 300 plus mile drive will give your hearing a workout. Especially if you didn't wear earplugs.

Anyway, version 2.0 of my car, shown below, has an under car exhaust system built by Dr. Gas. I like the sound a lot better and I really like the look, too. Plus I don't need to worry about my 3-and 7-year-old daughters burning themselves on sidepipes.
