When I was in college I had a BN7 that had a side exhaust and I liked how
cool was the growl of the exhaust and visible flashes from the tailpipe on
downshifting. Way Cool... So about ten years ago I decided to put a
side-pipe on the 100.
It was no difficult deal and I simply got a piece of pipe bent with the
right sweep and cut to length with an appropriate angle at the tip which
just cleared the left rear tire. I instantly gained a bit more ground
clearance in the back and the sound and light show was about as I
remembered from my younger day
Then I took a couple of days' road trip and I found that the exhaust noise
simply wore me out and at the end of the day my already-diminished hearing
was about non-existent.
So when I got home I removed the short pipe and reinstalled the
original--and there it sits
I don't know if I have grown up or simply grown old but sometimes cool is
not the same as it once was.
