You sure that's not your butt dyno you're smelling?

Maybe you're trying to sound cool but that's not what "butt dyno" means...

It's a well-documented phenomenon.

Not cool, but humorous, it was a play on words/joke.

I'd like to know about that exhaust too. I might be remembering wrong but maybe Buckhead Imports or something like that in Atlanta did the system?

I kinda did too… 🤭🤭🤭

Mike Forsythe helped to spec and build the car. I do believe the details are on his IG page or you can Google his name with Buckhead imports for a faster result set.

I found his IG page, he just says "we did a little bit of exhaust work"

Edit - Found a Youtube video where they say they have Valvetronic cutouts done. Valvetronic has a universal kit for $800 bucks (2 mufflers with tips) and basically straight pipes through the mufflers.

I bet they just slapped a mid-pipe on it.

Cool beans! If you replicate the setup, post it I’d love to hear it. 👍🏽
