Now all it needs is a train horn!

I once saw the same exhaust system on a Triumph Spitfire.

On your train horn comment, back in the late 1950s, a guy had the 1949/1950/1951? Ford sedan. He installed a train headlamp in the round thing on his grille, along with his train horn. According to the story, he would go out into the desert highways at night, turn off his headlights, turn on the train light, and start blasting the horn. It was amazing how many oncoming vehicles would run off the road. There had to be a special place in heaven - or hell - for that guy.

This is especially meaningful since our family, when I was growing up, owned two Triumph Spitfires, one convertible, one hardtop.

I'm still looking for a way to put "Super Light Duty" on mine somewhere

Not quite the same, but I wear it with a badge of honor!

I have a Super Doody decal. I am still trying to decide where I'll place it. It should go well with my F-50 decal!

This was at an ABCD car show. I asked the owner if he had a Ferrari v-12 in it, and he said, "No. Just the 1147." (or whatever the first, smaller Spit engine was) I doubt if the engine even made enough heat to warm up those exhaust pipes, assuming that both were hooked up to the manifold in some way.

Probably not. But man, those were fun cars to drive. I miss our English cars but man, what a PITA to work on.

Back in the 1980's my father-in-law put two stacks like this but not as big on his 1972 Chevy 1/2 ton PLUS a set of 5 functioning roof lights (like in pic) AND non functioning air horns on the cab PLUS monstrous rear mud flaps with stainless bottoms that, whenever there was a slight load in the bed would drag and make noise PLUS chromed horseshoes on the front fender and bed around the marker lights!
So, to honor his memory, I could do all of what he did to my Mav! Naaa, don't think so! Wife would murder me!

For all those wishing for the addition of a train horn (or reminiscing about ones they remember), I dug up this clip of the comedy guys called "Ylvis" (the guys behind "What Does the Fox Say" and many more hilarious videos). The tiny car sneaking up on folks... chef's kiss!

Now all we need is to put a set of longhorns on the front.
