Replace with 3.5V8 with straight thru pipes actually ;-)

How road legal are straight-thru's?

My guess would be perfectly as long as they complied with noise and
emissions regs

P.

I just ask 'cos it would be so much easier making up (repairing!) my
home-made bodge on a '75 S-III V8 transplant using straight pipe. Might be
ok at "burble" throttle settings but would have quite a bark if unleashed I
should think. Currently use a single box right at the back end and it's
pretty loud. (note to self: must experiment with fitting the box further
forward, i.e. with longer tail-pipe to see if that makes any difference).
