    Default Jack Daniels exhaust note

    anybody notice the new exhaust note from the kelly car. sounds much more like a open wheeler. apparently old Perkins has changed the exhaust manifold/muffler setup. definitly different. i wonder what sort of difference it makes in power/torque output?

    When hey sppoke with Larry at Bathurst he admitted to having re-designed the 'collector' resulting in the very changed/different exhaust sound. I like it.
