A bit confused, here, Redd.....are you looking for the FIA style sidepipes where the collector is inside the fender, with a single pipe that connects to the muffler, or are you looking for "289 street" Cobra style under-car style exhausts that usually exit in the rear of the car?

I'm not sure I've ever seen any "289" street style under-car exhausts that exit in front of the rear wheels, but I'd bet almost any competent muffler shop could build you a set. Clearance might be an issue, but if you use oval exhaust pipe you might get a bit of relief from that.

Otherwise, the biggest problem would be the exhaust headers....a set of "shorty" headers might be your best bet, would certainly be easier than finding room under the already crowded chassis for a set of equal length headers.

If you're looking for a set of FIA style headers, well, those are "sort of" shorty style headers.....that's why there's only one pipe that exits behind the front tire.

Bottom line, though......if you're building an ERA, I'd contact them and tell them what you want. I have never built an ERA, but my perception of the ERA product is that it is practically built when you receive it....if you want a street exhaust that exits in front of the rear tires, I'd be willing to bet they'll build it for you!

Cheers from Dugly!
