Default New Dual Exhaust, and other updates....

Just got back from working on the car at SP tonight, we got our custom exhaust back from the coater We did a 4" to dual 3" using 3" borla race mufflers, and some 5" tips (ricey touch )

I'll get some better pics when its not 20 degrees out. The exhaust is really loud on my car, especially with the cams!!!! makes your heart vibrate, its deeeeeep. I love it.

Some other updates, I'm swapping in some 1000cc injectors, bolting on a new GT42-76 DBB SP turbo (maching surge housing). Also recently installed the RPS Carbon/carbon pro clutch. Next season is gonna be CRAZY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Those tips are from a company called "vibrant" we cut them down to fit properly.

Jeff, you were supposed to stay quiet about that shhhhh! Thanks bud.

Thanks Tryk. btw, I laughed outloud when I saw your sig HHAHAHAHHA .

I really didn't mind the single sided exhuast, but I thought the dual would just balance the rear back out again, it did

yeah your car/our cars look better with dual exhausts.

other than the louder tone and more resonating how different does it feel
from your previous single exhaust?
