This swap looks so incredibly well thought out. Almost looks like snapshots from a factory assembly line if you ignore the shop... I'm trying to say it looks OEM.

Coming along very nicely! Saw the other pictures of the exhaust setup, looks really good. Why not go with a central exit exhaust with a more efficient (and an ACTUAL) custom diffusor if it's going to mainly be a track car though? Car begs a Porsche Cayman style exhaust exit...

Why central exit? I don't get it

Do you just have a boner for them?

This build is for Vorshlag to make a Kit with no fabrication by the consumer (truly bolt on ) and the finished product be as OEM as possible, but of course anyone could exclude the header back exhaust in the Kit and have any configuration they want.

Ok, makes sense for keeping oem style configuration from a bolt on and non-car modification perspective for designing the system for the complete kit.

Less unnecessary mass, more centrally located mass (reduced MOI for quicker responsiveness), and is easier to make a more effective diffusor when you don't have a large muffler with dual tips being in the way of things out back.

See this example...

The only reason the FR-S has dual wide rear exit from the factory is for looks... it's not for performance goals.

I believe our friend here is trying to articulate that a great deal of time, care, engineering, and problem-solving expertise has gone into the development of this kit thus far.

Really digging the PVC driveshaft right now.

Furthermore, I aim to convey the difficulty that I believe many of us are experiencing as we not only pace in circles waiting to see more, but also attempt to align reality with our need for the kit to be a part of our lives. The carpeting shows signs of wear beneath me. When, not if, the structure beneath that fails; well I'll simply be in the basement, but after that! The next level is hell itself.
