I finished updating the car to "street specs" last Tuesday. All the lights work, it has an "exhaust system", bigger fuel cell, etc. Most importantly it is legally licensed and insured! This is a poor quality pic of me driving it home.

Isnt it great to just go for a drive. It will slow you down a bunch but a 3" exhaust with cutouts to unleash the power at the track is a great addition

Never said it was practical. I just wanted to get it out of the garage a few times this summer. It has been collecting dust for the last couple of years. At some point I'll have to figure something out, but for now it's a blast just the way it is....

Very nice! Definitely a lot more fun driving on the street. I drove a 14.5:1 big block on the street for 3 years, lol.

That's Awesome! I said over 20 years ago when I first started making my car go faster that I would always keep it street legal. There is just an extra level of fun to be able to drive your race car on the street.

Yup... have the same problem. Pulling the KOS 499 and dropping in my new 540 now. I would like to run 3 1/2 exhaust all the way as the Proparts headers have a 3 1/2 collector. Would be nice to find a 3 1/2 X pipe but may do an H crossover instead. Problem is that 540 also has 13.9-1 and too much cam (Indy R2) so still on C-16. I'll run it a while that way then drop in less cam and dished pistons.
Street car:
Bunch of places have 3.5" x pipes.
Pypes Perf, spin tech or get two 3.5" 90* bends and whip one up.
