Lippy - I'm building an ERA street roadster - trying to stay fairly authentic or at least with period appearance. Some of the street cars - with day one or two mods - starting sporting some SC items like roll bars, SC wheels and hood scoops. Some were converted over to mostly SC appearance. So, a little mixing up of hood scoops, roll bars or exhaust systems is not too unusual. I would build it like you want it.
Undercar exhaust out the rear is do-able, although I just couldn't go with ERA's 2 inch system. Using their headers I've created a full 2-1/2 inch system out the rear - but it does require some compromises. I had to go with a 255/60-15 tire with 9-1/2 inch wheels on the rear and I stuck with the Jag rear suspension. Even then it's kind of tight. Another option was to have ERA widen the rear track slightly and run 7-1/2 wheels all the way around for some tailpipe clearance. They have done this on a few cars, including Peter's street roadster. This would actually look more stock especially now that they have reproduction Starburst wheels out again.
These are some more options and ideas to confuse you all the more.
