In reply to Knurled. :

When I put the Racing Beat header on my first gen, I thought it would be a wonderful idea to take it down the road with no exhaust. I mean a couple of 8k rpm pulls through second gear can't be that loud can they?

My ears rang for two days. 

I still remember the disappointment I felt when I took the Turbo II out for a spin after deleting the exhaust downstream of the turbo and attaching the new 3" downpipe and a turndown.  I mean, it was loud, but it wasn't THAT loud, you know?  Just shows how effective a muffler a turbocharger is.

The only acceptable roatries are the turbo muffled ones.

In the grand scheme of things, this isn't that bad. Sure, the straps could fail, or the railing the straps are attached to could fail, but if they don't, it's pretty safe otherwise. The bottom of the ladder is captured, he can only fall back into the railing.

I just don't know if I'd trust the railing that much...

No.  What's REALLY too bad is that they did all that careful work and then put the center sipe 1/4" off center.
