I guess I am going to have to add windshiled wipers to the Monty

No, good idea that is, but most place still control the noise form race cars.  You are just seeing a welded on bracket!
OH lol I was look at it differently, but now that you mention it, it makes sence now, to me it looked like you had a smaller muffler and a seperate pipe coming off it somehow? maybe I drank to much diet coke or something?

Very cool Don. There isn't a VTEC in there is there? I wish my dad still had the bug to race. I can barely get him IN my car, let alone race it!

We'll need pictures.
