Looks like a track day only car car but claims 2500 road miles. Just wondered how you can get away with a striaght through exhaust on the road...

Hope he get's it, as that would make for better second hand Values.

Only thing I can say would be that, As far as I know that's a 750cfm Vac Secondary Holley on there, and the mag artical that was done on it said they fitted it for better MPG. Problem being There's no way you will get 550BHP for that Carb... Just has not got the fuel delivery so I've read and been told.

But have seen the car and looks realy nice, and well made all the same.

Fit silencers for SVA and hope the BiB don't take exception. The H-pipe will reduce the exhaust noise at low revs quite a bit...

I'm amazed at how quiet my bro's camaro is with only a small single 8" straight through silencer and a 3 1/2" Y-pipe exhaust. It's still much louder than my Ultima but a lot quieter than the boy racer Saxos/Novas and Harleys.

As an aside the best Ultima exhaust system I've seen has to be Andy's one with the proper X-pipe and straight through silencers. Must sound
