>Are there any additional designs for mufflers and exhaust pipe
runs?
=========
The underside of the car's layout is such that you'd be very limited
in a different layout without compromising ground clearance. Headers
help some, but a cam / carb / intake upgrade is necessary to garner
the max gains available.

Is

=========
I haven't actually measured it, but it sure looks like the '70-1/2
Z28 or SS350 muffler would be an adaptable fit.
=========
Is it necessary?
=========
No.

The tips are added on. They can be changed to some that go to the
rear.

Mine is.

My kind of guy. Lives life in the fast lane! :^)) I have conflicting
info. I have part #'s that look like AMC's, but others have stated
that they're Bricklin specific. Here's a snip from a previous
thread:
"The 74 that I have still

and:
"When I spoke with Hoffman
>(this was before I had the part number or much info) he did not
mention
>the transmission difference, he recommended replacement, and he
said

I think any competent spring shop can fix you up.

The one's I'm familiar with are distress sales. Life sometimes suck,
and the toys are the first to go.
