But that is a 2 door convertible. Different story I think you'll find for a 4 door hardtop.

If the rear doors are welded up and the rear windows are unopenable, then you might be lucky.....

Rods ain't cars when it comes to legalities. Mount the Torana on a pre 48 chassis if you want the DoT to cut you a little slack. And Cobras and Corvettes could be irrelevant also due to factory fitment.

Show me a retro style Aussie car with full rego and functioning sidepipes and I might believe you.

I have read they are illegal. If they aren't there's bound to be a street legal panel van on a van forum with them.

ps. I'd be very surprised if the ones on the blue Cobra are functional. You would burn the frOck out of your calves exiting the vehicle.

Here's the NCOP rules on side exiting exhaust.

I'm sure there used to be a measurement the exhaust outlet had to be past the last opening, 18" rings a bell. A mate had a Goss coupe with pipes exiting in front of the back wheels, wasn't appreciated by the licensing dept at the time. However with a ute it was fine.

What about a wiper motor Dave?

I believe the last opening also includes the boot in the eye of most engineers.

70's and 80's don't count. They've cracked down a lot since then.

And pipes running down the sills takes it into a whole different category than just side exiting exhausts.

Probably right there Bomber. I never gave the boot any thought.

I have been driving the Corvette in WA for a couple of years and the K30 has been on the road since Oct 2013. I have never been pulled over in either of them. The Vette may have had sidepipes fitted as an option, but the original ones had the heat shielding. And yes, you do burn your calves when you get out. Once.
I did have a copper ask about the K30 at a ute muster but he seemed happy enough with my explanation of it being a commercial vehical and therefore exempt.

Great Pictures added to the cause Everybody,

the RAT is not a Rod, but will be Roddy.

And all of the above cars look liek they would be about 200mm past the last cabin opening, bar the vette, and thats just a factory option.

Cheers.

there is rules about side pipes, they cant be directed at other vehicles or pedestrians faces, and you cant touch the pipe so youd have to have a shield or use the actually side pipe as the shield and have another pipe on the inside of it
