I couldn't imagine having side pipes or lakes on the Fairlane, it's loud enough in the car now! Plus they get blinkin' hot, burnt my legs on Nessie's Zodiac with side pipes when I went in that.

im keeping them in line with the sill so you shouldn't catch your legs on them when geting out, i think its going to be far too loud without any silencers. but il give it ago as im curious to see what it looks n sounds like..the pipes for it only cost £17,so its no big loss if i dont like it .

well i fitted it and to be honest it didn't look the way i wanted it to. LOUD yep f##ing LOUD but i expected that.well the pipes came off and im going to change it a bit so just the tail pipes come out the side ,just in front of the rear wheels. again the silencers will not be fitted as i cant get a decent ground clearance with them on. it was nice to hear it roar with no silencers but as mark/animal said it would do your head in on a long trip. may be i'll do it just for track and quart mile runs.

poped side out lets on with no silencers VROOOOOOOOMMMMM sounded lush. but pc plod would tug me every 2 mins so off they came. real nice burble .sounded like a big block yank. blasted it down the road ,mates loved it but agreed it was way too loud for road use. if i ever get on a quart mile ill use them then.

If possible you should run it round at the NATS without silencers, you'll find there will be some very loud cars cruising around wink
