Default I like it!

Big mouths don't win wars! Ask our president.The Rocketbooster ones pretty funny though.

You guys need a Z (Z owners aren't quite as contemptuous for some reason?) to shut you up!

But, your right since so many cars end up seeing my cars backside I should figure out a way to clean them up a bit!

Does the exhaust come out of those little pinholes? It looks like there is a cap over the end of the tailpipe...it seems like that would be bad for a turbo car.

Creative idea man. I don't think it looks that horrible at all personally. I would have tryed to do a spiral bullet behind the bumper and had one exhaust personally just to see what it looked like. Yours isn't terrible like all the locals say though.

This is an outstanding prototype that works great! Although I do loose about a half a pound of boost, but with this ethanol winter gas that's probably a good thing. There's many things that could be done using this basic concept to make it neat and tidy and I'm thinking someone else, or me later on will do them. How about stainless glasspacks for one! Removing the clamp holding the trap on the glass pack and tack welding it. Cutting the glasspack shorter. All silver or black would be nice.
Do with this as you will, but, to me the important thing is that it works!
I nailed it this morning at least a half a dosen times and it was fine.
I like Supras and have friends that have them, but a stock ZX14 makes more sence! This mod'g stuff?
One more thing is for the longest time I have wondered what's the deal with the bright and shinny oversized tips coming out of cars these days. They do nothing for performance! Hold on guys, but, your brainwashed! Me too!

Although I am sure they work well, I really have to question if you actually have seen them? You need to revamp to whole looks package on your product. I have never hated a car enough to do something like that to it.

Remember the movie The Christmas Story? I bet your car feels alot like Ralphy when he had to wear the pink bunny suite.

Sorry I just couldn't resist! Good product, needs new looks! Good luck!

I'd paint them silver or black.

Looks like you ran over Rocket Boy and are dragging him under the car.

Oh yeah, were going to be waiting a long time to see to 16 plus inch bullets tucked under the rear facia of Corvette Z![/QUOTE]

Not true. I have had mine for 1 year now. In fact I have two bullets, one for each turbo. pm me with your email address if you want some pics. I think Hammer at the corvette forum is going to post them for me. Anyway, good job on figuring out a solution to the sound problem.
