Hello All,

I'm a new member thinking about doing a coupe build in CT. Can any experienced builders shed some light on the inspection process in CT, specifically with regard to side exhaust? According to CT's composite vehicle regulations: "vehicles equipped with exhaust pipes exiting to the side, forward of the rear axle, must extend rearward beyond any passenger door openings."

If this was enforced, I don't see how any coupe (or roadster for that matter) could ever pass inspection since the exhaust ends right under the doors. Is this requirement just ignored, or is there some loophole that I'm missing?

Any info on this is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
Steve
