Duane-Yeah I don't think I'll be disappointed at all. Tom did not notate the sheet with those specifics...I just have a straight printout from the session. I can certainly find out though.

Twin-Thanks for the compliments on the car's look. Glad to hear it impressed an observer in the way I intended. My Wife and I have been using words like sinister, stealth and menacing to describe it for quite some time.
There are two ways to configure the exhaust system on a 9000 series coupe. Naturally the quad side pipes are integral to the look of a Daytona so they are present with either setup. First option is to have the side pipes as ornaments, basically, then they route the real exhaust system, pipes, mufflers and tailpipes to exit holes cut into the forward portion of the tucked under rear valance. This quiets the car considerably. On my car the side pipes are fully functioning, much louder and this avoids a few extra pounds of piping and, important to me, no holes cut in the bodywork. Look at the photos in my album, click "Pliskin", top right of this page, there's a shot of the pipes back from the coating vendor and you can make out a full length chamber that is behind the pipes, unseen, when mounted. Added resonance and depth to the tone.
Personally, I can't imagine building one of these cars and wanting to muffle it's character. It is a Cobra after all and should be loud, rude and in your face...no apologies.
