Ross,
Have you had a look at the brake light switch located just below the
brake pedal pivot? Perhaps a wire is loose or the switch is stuck.
Take a look there. On my 74 Spitfire, the switch was broken and the
wires hanging from the harness.
WRT the exhaust, the Monza exhaust is relatively inexpensive an provides
good sound quality. The sound has a lot of low frequency content as it
is just a set of 3 flow through glass packs. I have them installed in
my car and they sound great!! I think the Roadster factory sells these.
Good Luck!!
