Not able to listen to it here at work, will do so when I get home, but...

I was looking at your car's sidepipes, and I noticed that the sidepipes stop about 1/3-1/2 of the way back on the door...Doesn't the DOT and most racing organizations require the sidepipes to exit behind the driver's door, to prevent the exhaust gases from going up into the car's cabin?

I thought I saw something on Speed Channel about this a while back...

I dunno...I just saw a build where the guys ran a Vette at Watkins Glen. They tried to cut the sidepipes short, exiting about halfway back on the door, and almost didn't pass tech. I just thought this might be an issue?
