you might do better having a look on the powerflow website and getting a stainless steel exhaust made

depending on your petrol tank
will depend on if you can go exhaust either side of the back

i can't on mine as i have the tank the sites at the back of the car and only leaves room at one side

iwas thinking of welding 2 cherry bombs together and using that as a back box
should sound fun :y

yep
you can only put exhaust's on one side

i might try 2 cherry bombs and if it sounds crap ill try a 3litre back box
and see how that sounds :y

i might try the 3 litre back box as the baffles in mine have gone

don't know about changing the tanks

to much of a head ache in my books

plus changing the tanks will probly effect the fuel gauge as i think the tanks on the new type are smaller :-?

Aren't they all? ;) I've never looked under a car with wheel barrow handle Irmscher exhausts, but as Irmscher did them they must fit around the tank. I can't see them going to the effort of making up a tank to suit.

You can get pipes under the tank on the drivers side on the earlier models too, the pipes are ovaled to pass underneath. Specialist only though AFAIK, never seen any off the shelf.

i wouldn't want to run pipes under the tank
its low enough as it is i would hate to hit a speed bump wrong and smack the exhaust into the tank :-/
