It seems crazy as hot rods are all one offs. A modded cut and shut illegal derivitive of a once legal street car. None were ever homologenised in their respective HOT ROD form. In fact the truth be known they were illegal when these guys modded their cars 30 years ago!
My way of thinking is that at least Cobras were a real production run and all we're doing is trying to recreate what actually was???
This is off thread/topic I know, but I for one will be running working side pipes and will also prepared the results. I guess if you know what you create is illegal according to the ADR rules then you can't complain when you get pinged!
Nassty, sadly you're so right though... it only takes one inspector to create havoc for many!
Just my 2cents worth.

I agree with you too Spookypt re lobbying. That's been discussed many times. ATM though, changing the regs in the near future doesn't appear to be likely so we all have to make do with the current regs.
I'm not saying that modding is bad. All I'm saying is I think it would be better for cobras to be more subtle about their mods so as to not attract undue attention from the boys in blue. Loud doesn't necessarily equal fast. 400TT proved that at Shelby Fest 06. He was the quietest cobra there yet he was also the quickest.
