Bulge

[floydv]

The unseasoned Elio: Just a pinch of time, a dash of Elgin, and a side of chrome pipe, and you have the makings of a classic roasted trike-trip.

You only have 5.75" of ground clearance to play with though.

That's what she said.

One final bad Elio joke related to the bluge.... Is that the tail pipe, or is it happy to see me?

That's what she said.

I'm including that in my Classic He said, She said coffee table book!

..............and what if an owner removes the bulging cover to expose the tail pipe?

That is a violation of 314.1 pc in Ca. "Indecent Exposure".
In LE, we called it "weiner wagging".

Is this your estimation of have you heard or seen evidence of this?

I do think that it provides a great opportunity for after market but it would be awesome if EM has been rumoring this.

"Eastern Catalytic will have several options for performance and stainless steel exhaust systems." From the Elio site.

While Eastern Catalytic doesn't say it on their site, they DO produce catalytic converters with a mirror finish which means they can also produce the pipes. I don't think it would be a stretch for them to produce a nice looking side pipe. I mean, they'll have the stats and there IS profit in making them.

Jerome DID say during the unveil that the Elio would have a side pipe "like that corvette over there" or something to that effect.

Oh, hell, it's conjecture at this point.

(not a big town, I don't get to do this much, Eastern Catalytic is less than 5 miles from my house)

"Eastern will produce the complete exhaust system and catalytic converter for the new Elio, which is scheduled to start production in the 4th quarter of 2014."

4th quarter 2014
Yea, not sure how accurate the rest of the info is at this point...

I hope the hernia bulge on the P5 was a last minute act to get it ready for the LA Auto Show, and the final result will be nothing similar.
