What I said = its not going to last

It weighs 5.73 lbs

It sounds sick

Deal with it.

Don't mind the monster trucking. I'm on a hill thing

Cool. Keep us up to date on it

The same shoo that built this built a 5in aluminum DOWNPIPE for a 1200hp Camaro and that hasn't had any issues so I'm not too worried but yes I'll be updating this frequently to silence the nay sayers

What kind of wheels are you running and specs?

epson1 · 08-10-2012, 08:58 PM

18x9 +30 avant garden m310 234/45 in back 225/40 up front

I never got the point of turning a dual setup into a single. Now there's this big gap on the right. I guess I prefer the symmetry of a dual. Not only that, it's skewed out to the side. With all the other comments about reliability, and just the look of it.....bleh.

@epson1, Any videos or even just audio? Nice work!

I wouldn't do it without fixing the diffuser.

Its skewed to the side to reduce the bends from the rear subframe to the bumper. Long story short the car is going in for a Formula D spec 6 point cage over the winter more than likely if we can get engine reliability down. Obviously I give zero fucks about symmetry and shit.

I'm in for more pics. I do wish it exited straight back but I understand the reasoning.

epson1 · 08-11-2012, 04:45 PM

I work 9 to 11 hours a day so time to really take some nice pictures is hard. Easy way to describe it is a.mix.between any straight exhaust 4 cylinder rasp with a deep boxer rumble mixed in.
