Default Do I *need* a rollbar?

So I just received my ERA chassis # - it is 797. Of course I am reviewing my final options and choices (Either Ferrari Blu Pozzi or BMW Jerez Black (which is blue), no stripe, black interior). I'm still going back and forth on the undercar exhaust vs. sidepipes.

If I build a car with the undercar exhaust, it sort of comes down to two ways:
(1) Exhaust exiting ahead of wheels, rollbar, and quickjacks. Sort of a hybrid street/SC
(2) I may even consider building a street version with the exhaust exiting at the rear. I guess if I do this, the scoop and quickjacks may not even look right. I don't plan on tracking the car. Would it be crazy to build without a roll bar? I think the chance of rolling the car is low, and I'm not sure the roll bar would do any good anyway. Has anyone done this?

As always, any opinions are appreciated.
