I dont think that is exhaust, more than likely it is intercooler piping going back to the air to water intercooler.

IIRC, thats the fastest LS1 TA Convertible, or something like that, out there.. or, was at the time. I read about that car in a magazine and remember it looking like that on the interrior. IIRC, its like a 7 sec car. I THINK!

Oh yeah, the huge wheelie bars and chute sticking out the back make is a reall sleeper. Not to mention the blower whine you get off that thing, "no man, thats not a blowerr, just my gears whining."

Yea, I've got that issue. I always liked that car. If he daily drives it, I hope he took the wheelie bars off. God knows people around here would run into them on a daily basis.
