Confucious say, "Man who run behind car get exhausted!"
Sorry -- couldn't resist. ;)
No, really, folks, I have an exhaust-related question. I have a Pace
header for the interim engine in Tristan (1967 Spit) and need to add
something thereafter. I was wondering what people recommend -- a
straight pipe (which the hotter race engine had -- ended about midway
down the chassis), a Supertrapp (which I have but the PO didn't like the
sound of the car with it on), a Dynoflow (sp?) or something similar, or
any other alternative. Me, I'm for the less bank-breaking approach,
since I just closed on my house last Friday and have found some of the
multitude of money-sucking attributes of said abode already. Anyone
have any ideas or good knowledge?
Speaking of the new home, I'll be stuffing Tristan and Elliott (my
street '68 Spit) and a Van Diemen Formula Ford into the oversized
two-car garage. Hail to the Brits!
Thanks in advance (10 degrees)!
Keep Triumphing,
Susan :)
PS -- For those of you who didn't see this on the Spit list (WAAAAH!
Wish I could go!):

We are doing a test day at Road Atlanta on March 2,1999. We have a slot
for
one more story. I suggested to my editor that we do a Spitfire versus
Midget
(and even cooler if we could get a Honda S800 too) type story. He
sheepishly
admitted that their is no better story to read than one involving
Spitfires.
Here's the deal. All day at Road Atlanta for free, autocross and track
use. I
need to have a decent modified street car and or racing Spitfire. Car
needs to
be safe and trackworthy. We are not racing, but touring on the track
70-90
mph.
I also really need to find a Midget or Sprite or two in like condition.
You need to be there all day, your attitude needs to be as shiny as your
car
and you need to not have a cow if one of our staff needs to drive your
car for
a comparison story. Naturally, you will become beyond famous when you
car
appears in Grassroots Motorsports and you will meet the staff and we'll
buy
you lunch.
