So far, no probelm with being pulled over. I have the straight through muffler inserts instead of the reverse flow type. They are only fairly loud on upper RPM runs, but not as loud as the sidepipes on my Shelby Cobra which has also never been pulled over for noise. I don't live in the city though. You might want to ask a cop like I did.

The color is called electron blue - a Vette color from about 2000.

I believe it is called a turbo hood. There are two sizes - this one is the taller one which clears the Holley dual breather.

why waste power on a speed fan, when you have electric fans? overkill? other than that good job

@zycus123

After I finally welded some aluminum shroud rings around the fans, it took care of the overheating problem - making the fans draw the air much better. The mechanical fan is now gone.

nice body work and paint, like the rear tailight treatement, sort of a C4callaway flavor. everything is in proportion. Not overdone

Thanks.  I'm glad you and others like the overall look. I tried to bring it all together with the modifications without going too far.

[moumt]

hey, just wanted to know if you had lots of problems with cops with those Hooker for the sound, cuz i was thinking about installing a set of those on mine (which you can come check out on my channel) but without the reverse flow shitty thing (i don't think you have them on either) so let me know. thx! Awesome ride by the way!
