I thought about putting the exhaust out the fender when I built my car but, I just couldn't do it. It would have been much easier though.

I don't like to fish but I do like to golf.

Those are 35 individuals that will grow into a full size race car, and keep this sport going. Without a youth program to get kids interested in it, this sort will die. Embrace it.

You would think. Most of them grow up making the most trouble at the track and complaining about everything.

I cant stand the echo of a chainsaw in a bathtub prior to 5:30 am. Or crickets that prostitute themselves out for only a few chirps.

I'm going to be the next trendsetter with these:

Pina Coladas? Gettin' caught in the rain?

There was a guy a few years ago that mounted his headers like they use in drag boats except exhaust going forward. Had 2 big slots in the hood so it would open. LOL What a piece of crap, but he was racing.

Some might even go for that, but from where your from you now better, I think we first used/made them in 1976.


As joe dirt as it may be I used to want to run the 8 zoomie type pipes on the street, just BECAUSE they were loud, cool and looked like a fire breathing dragon at night.

But imagine the fumes that would be in the car/cabin.

I will say I am not a huge fan wither but in some circumstances it makes plenty of since. I wish I had done it on my stratus initially and when we do the stainless stuff they will be fender exit.

IF, their daddy pays for it! You would think it would happen, but very seldom and I don't have the answer. Maybe they don't have the passion like their dad-mom did.
Running the pipes out the fender is just lazy and being a copycat.

That car must be 10 ft off the ground

Darned old noisy drag cars...

Noisy jr dragsters too... Jegs sells an electric jr.

All kidding aside, I'm old too. There are times when being further deafened, and choked in the lanes bothers me too, when in the past I wouldn't have even noticed.

I hate 20 people on the line with a small tire car since it takes 10 minutes for them to do a burnout, and stage. Only to blow the tires off, leak, stall, backfire, not restart, ect. I even look at the crowd the same way my parents probably looked at hippies lol.

Getting old is a cruel joke to play on people.

I am not a fan of the thru fender exhaust, but it sure makes things simple. I don't think side exhaust sounds as good as chassis type as you mainly hear just the one side facing you if you are close.
The most annoying drag car sound for me was the Mazda rotary 90 cube . Like the Terry Hoard car of years ago. High rpm and powerful, but terrible to hear.

Really I was kinda down on the fender ex when it first came out, there really has to be some inventive ways with the oval pipe and such to get it further back. Cant call the big dogs lazy for it because there cars rock but if the rules had mandated it goes back so far im sure they would of found a way.

Alot of states say to the rear bumper or at least behind the rear tires and for big ex. for any street driven and its a pain and costly but we still do it.
