    Never seen buick portholes used for that. My Dad's old 49 had funtional portholes, but they were for air flow.

    i dunno. Jim Blackwood's going to have a screamer. how funny would it be if he solved his header routing problems the same way?

    OK, I just remembered that this is a traditional Buick exhaust system. The first one in 1910. :3gears:

    It's loud, it leaks, it's 622 cubic inches (I think, could be wrong on that.) And "the old guy" got to drive it.
