When i was in orlando a block and half away was a gear head shop i was always hearing something loud and fun, then it closed,

Another shop A good mile away for about a year i would hear the one tech fire up his car and leave i likely heard him for another half mile,
It was a hopped up rotary....i dont have a clue how he could stand to drive it.

Good. They don't all have to be loud.

The pics on my phone won’t up load to the forum site. I have flow master super 40s on it now and it is quiet enough to have a conversation in the car while driving’ if one wanted to. 3”. With an H pipe for 48” then reduces to 2-1/2” under the last frame cross over, exits through the stock rear valence. With the side pipes, it could be heard a country mile away. No sneaking around if the throttle was applied at all!

That’s a really nice looking car! I love the interior, particularly the nice touch on the roll bar padding.

Nicely done
