Had to take it for an alignment..

Sideways in three gears even when short shifting!

And the exhaust sounds killer!

JAKE....was wondering about exhaust on Mighty?? Is that a TANGERINE arrangement? Curious on configuration getting all that hot air out of there at those RPM revs....

ALOHA, LEO

Mighty had a custom built exhaust that was built in the car due to its wild arrangement. The exhaust was not 100% optimum for the engine, but its the best they could do.
