GS Motorsports, eh? IIRC they are kinda questionable in the Supra and Muscle biz... They also have this Top Secret Widebody Supra that had a terrible wheel setup, lol.

I hope they're treating you well Juanito! I very well could be misinformed! I saw the Supra in person though... Hahaha

From what i've seen they've done some really good works. I saw the cars he's worked on in person (he had several at his shop) really cool dude everyone comes and goes to his shop really laid back atmosphere.Talking about his gold/yellow supra? Im not going to judge a shop by the wheels they decided to put on there car. Different people, different taste.

Oh I'm not judging them because of the Supra lol, I have read a few threads on parts not being shipped and refunds not being given, and repairs being poorly done. But if they are treating you well, then by all means, stick with them!

Those poor stretched tires on the Supra though...

Not everything you "read"is always true, you should know that. I like to give a try and find out for myself. But thanks for your concern.

It's possible a 4 banger boxer COULD be fitted with true duals (since those exhaust ports are 2 on each side) but whether or not its actually beneficial in terms of power/noise?

Doesn't the latest STI do this? true dual with 2 tips per side I believe;
With boost down the line I could see this as a popular setup for our cars

I can't get enough of the rear bumper/ exhaust of the TOM's development concept; that definitely will be impressive =D

Oh yeah those are awesome are they even out yet? I can't find anything other than some pics

Yeah I am not sure about the extra ring but checking on the wheels on a couple WRX they look pretty good tho I'm not sure if the size had anything to do with it
