Very nice indeed Sir :)

Maybe you could trim the exhaust tails back just a tad to make them a bit more subtle. Thats is a real sleeper !!!

Ha Ha!!
Trim them back and paint them black with a slight slash cut downturn.
Then fit a 1" dummy pipe to one side with a harry moss chrome extender to make it look like a pants tuning mod :)

problems i had was space, exhaust manifolds were very tight and steering column had to be altered.

i am not familiar with that engine tho or how it drives, the rover v8 changed the way my car drove alot, it is so nice for just cruising around at a steady pace,
