    That one has got to be from down here in Australia or New Zealand.
     
  2. Going by the trees i would say Aussie, i haven't seen it here. JW
     
  3. Probably Australian

    Its right hook (RHD) its running a Ford engine and its got guards.

    And those trees look like gumtrees which infest Oz.

    Like NSRA's motto years ago "Fun With Cars"! Shirtless, big grin, cigarette in hand, doing a burnout......great picture.

    As Maxwell Smart used to say, “They missed it but that much….”. That radiator is ugly and too high, but other than that, it’s really cool.

    I am sure that I will love this one more after I put baffles in the headers.

    There is cool-loud, and then there is my ears rang for the entire next day, loud.

    Yeah, those pipes that tuck under and go back to mufflers and tailpipes start looking good after a while.
    @BigJoeArt wears hearing protection for a reason!
    This is cute until the ringing doesn't stop.

    The customer says that he does not notice the noise. It may already be too late for him.

    I did manage to convince him to at least put two-chambered baffles in the cones. They should arrive today. I still have the car at the shop, so I will put them in as soon as I can.

    He was concerned that it would be quiet. I told him that there is no chance of that, but I did hope that the baffles would get it out of the immediate hearing damage range.

    I do love me some noise.

    but I do have insert baffles in mine that take the edge off.

    still loud, but not untolerable to drive around town with no protection.

    and on the highway the wind beats you up as bad as the exhaust.

    Just took mine for a small loop in town, with muffs. Much better. I gotta dig out the electronic ones, if I can find 'em.
