The main decision is whether to go with a slip-on or a full exhaust system. Go with a full system if you regularly ride at greater than 8000 rpm. There you will enjoy the full benefits. Full systems are quite a bit more expensive than slip-ons. Two choices are the Yoshimura or the Akrapovic. The Akrapovic is more expensive, louder, and makes a bit more power. Hindle and Leo Vinci also make full systems. You will want to rejet the carbs if you go the full system route.

The "Classic" 427SC had competition pipes under the doors. Being real race cars, the finish was not particularly important, and they were typically painted with a simple high temperature paint - usually white (see the top picture), sometimes black.

Approved Leave will always deduct from the quota buckets in the order of the hierarchy, using the available hours in each quota at that time.

Prior to leaving the U.S., the alien must first request advance parole. However, it is advisable for most aliens with pending applications to remain in the U.S. throughout the duration of their application. In certain instances, an alien may be barred from re-entering the U.S. even if he had previously sought, and received, advance parole.
