Hey Woody, yes it is street driven. Mostly to/from the tracks within a 6 hour driving radius from LA. Once in awhile I'll do a test run up in the local mountains north of LA or drive to a local car meet/show to display it for House Automotive.

I use one of the China-made cat back mufflers (mine is branded TopSpeed but they come in a variety of brand names). That keeps it quiet enough to not rattle windows as I drive by but free flowing to give a couple extra horsepower at full throttle and loud enough that I can hear it on the race track.

The cops don't bother me at all. They do take a close look but then drive on by. Compared to all of the Harleys with open pipes, my car is quiet as a Tesla.
