I was surprised when the Shelby arrived without the holes for the side pipes and thought this would be a good opportunity to try an under the car exhaust. JBCOBRA, your car looks great, nice clean lines, and as others have pointed out, if I decide down the road I want side pipes, it is a lot easier to cut holes than to fill them in.

Thanks again.
It seems a bit odd that a $100k CSX 4000 aluminum roller would arrive without holes for sidepipes and you would: a) not be aware of this, and b) accept the car if you didn't want it that way.

Perhaps I am missing something.

That said, I say you've got to go with the sidepipes on this car with the current setup you described.

In any event, I am sure it will be a great car.
