    Thanks guys! I'm not sure if there is a concrete definition for blast pipes, i designed mine to have an Xpipe right before the tips so it is the furthest away from the H-pipe (under the tranny) as possible. I read a lot of muscle car forums prior and it seemed like a common theme to get the best sound & performance by keeping with that concept.

    I don't know much about exhaust physics so i decided to learn via trial and error, this is the 4th iteration and its getting there. I'm hoping the ferrari ansa muffler will smooth out the higher frequency noise (over glass packs) for the 5th change.

    Yeah I agree, it will align more with the competition. Hey, that just means easier swaps in the future assuming they don't do a complete redesign.

    new diffuser add-on trunk lip and front lip added as well


    I think I like these wheels and the spaced out stock wheels the best. I love what you're doing with this, looks amazing

    I never show though, i like to keep my car a little rough around the edges for character because the car is used daily I'm not striving for show car appearance, Its important for me for the car to look used and still driven hard.

    You might spot me in a couple parking lots though, i go to a few shows to every year just to check out what new stuff people are doing and just BS.
