This is an R7U Player's Cup Canadian car so I don't know if the same exceptions apply for the option codes. I have seen this car in person in 2019 when the previous owner wanted 28k for it and it was gorgeous.

$35k now, and the nose looks like crap w/ holes drilledfor plate bracket, plus those fugly exhaust tips

Looks like one cat and modded exhaust. Not very original

Re: 1991 TRANS AM 1LE
Lol, this car just sold on BaT for $15,000 in July... There are a number of things wrong with it, awfully ambitious price at $35,900..... Good luck with that one....

The players cars had sidepipes for racing. My guess is that is part of that system. Think there are a few pictures of the players exhaust floating around on the web

That's better than the "they patched it with a beer can" answer.

Yes that was a pipe left over from the GM race exhaust. I didn't recall if that car was raced or not. Looks like it may have been setup ... so time to look for holes from the roll cage install.
