On the exhaust, I don't fully understand going to 4 pipes that far back. Seems like extra weight and no more performance. It does look amazing, but what was the design decision? The only thing I can guess is that it has to do with controlling the total sound output somehow, though I doubt with those tiny resonators that this thing will be quiet...

The car has Quad exhaust simply for the reason that the body kit calls for a quad exhaust. If people like the exhaust and want on of their own they can call GTM Motorsports and setup a time to have one made for their car.

Car is also VERY low and that tip location is higher than stock so a "traditional" muffler probably isn't going to fit. But basically it just looks really cool.

I guess my point is if you wanted quad tip you could have easily welded two dual-tips at the end of two pipes and shaved the weight of the extra two pipes and resonators.

Who cares about a pound or two for some pipes if you have 1000hp to play with...

Do you think that the GTR manifold might benefit the N/A guys as well or is it better suited to forced induction applications?

The car is soo low it took us about 30min to get it on a flat bed truck!

I WANT I WANT HAHAHA

I been thinking about the racing air ride system. All the pics/info i've seen on there product it looks like the best of all worlds. Great handling, smooth ride, and of cource being bagged out for supreme ride height adjustability. Look into a group buy maybe

Is KW air suspension any good?
