Kugel's car had stainless exhaust outlets that ran to the rear of the car.
This was after the turbos so it can't really be considered a collector
extension. I think they did it because there was no other clean way to get
the exhaust out without going through the body, and that was during a
"transition year" when body exits were not allowed in Gas Coupe.

Not 100% on this, but I believe that Kugles extensions run to the rear
bumper. The extensions on the top NASCAR vehicles appear to be 48" or more.
