That looks cool, what man wants man builds. Very exciting, lets see how you apply this. Are you going to round out the edges where the pipe has been cut or leave it like that ?

Can't say I'm a fan of the exhaust and bumper idea at all... However, to each his own

Thanks man it sounds really good too. Similar to the custom muffler delete I had before but with a slightly higher pitch. Which section are you referring too?

No worries, we were trying to go for something LFA inspired on the car and knew going into it that some people might not be a fan. Once the diffuser is installed we'll know for sure. It is all bolt on bolt off, worst case scenario.

The diffuser will make or break this project and if the design isn't right than I'm just going to scrap this whole attempt. Mocked a quick diffuser to try to get ideas. Still unsure...

Well the exhaust project is on hold for now. I put my stock rear bumper back on and am redoing the quad axleback as well. The spare-cut rear bumper and "LFA" center section will sit in the garage until I have time to finish or until a company wants to pick it up to finish off the diffuser.
