    Thanks Joee. I was filtering on the Roadster only so was only getting a few results. I had already seen your posts and it looks and sounds like it turned out great. Is there a solution that doesn't go below the rails?

    Chris - Ian took his car through IVA (Independent Vehicle Assessment) which was subsequently changed to the SVA. The SVA is much stricter than IVA and no "stuffing steel wool" during the day. If they pick you up for anything, you have to go away, fix it, then come back another day and spend 8 hours having everything checked again.

    Ian's car is pretty awesome. He's the only guy I know that deliberately made his car louder! I still grin like an idiot when I think about the time he started it up for me.

    I should probably add that Ian doesn't think that a 400HP car will get through the SVA these days, or that a 400HP car that wasn't EFI would pass the emissions test.

    Under car exhaust or mufflers & cats etc. to hope that you meet the noise level requirements

    EFI almost seems like the only choice now and with the way things are going, it is only going to be tougher in 2 years when we are closer to finishing.

    Yes it has been done in the tranny tunnel with mufflers in the rear. Its been done through the frame tube. I think I have some of the posts book marked on my home computer.

    I'd love to see those pics as well. I've often thought it'd be the only way to go.
