This exhaust is the exact same inside out as the one on my car, it sounds very nice, can be a bit loud under high RPMs for the street (I welded/shut down one of the sides to make it quieter).. No resonance though..

Jean, did S-Car-Go fab your exhaust for Protomotive when they built your car? Sounds great BTW!

Thanks :-)

I have a picture of it being built in Todd's workshop, but I don't know who built it in reality...What I do know is that the same applies to many of the parts, connections, and other that I see on this build, they look identical with identical welds to mine etc... The same with Protosport stuff.

I have a similar exhaust on mine as well. The sound is just perfect.

Alvin..

All your cars represent true devotion to the art .. I've enjoyed watching the threads on each.

Thanks for sharing, and congrats on the completion!
