The picture above is my first Javelin, shortly after I bought it, in shiny yellow paint with a bizarre tail fin. The shot below is a few years later, with some rust starting to show, and my Custom Chrome sidepipes - both sides, fed from a Y-pipe with Thrush flexi-pipe joining it all together. They looked great, but over-muffled the little six-cylinder engine somewhat, didn't leave much ground clearance, and were forever needing cleaning - not really ideal for UK roads with all our salt in winter, the chrome shields soon rotted away. I ran without the shields for a while, but eventually gave up and settled for a more conventional exhaust system hidden underneath. I stuck with the fin for a while longer though, I grew to like it in a way, it was a good talking point if nothing else! However, that too came off when it was time for a respray and I wanted a more original look to the car.
