I have talked with that guy quite a bit. He is in North Carolina, someplace where cops respect an awesome sounding car. He has said that cops have pulled up next to him at a stop light and asked him to rev it. When he does he gets the thumbs up from them.
I drove it into work today and had to run a couple errands at lunch. I was constantly looking over my shoulder for anything with lights on top of it or anything that resembled an undercover car.

But then again, form should follow function.
Oh, looks are always subjective. I copied this thread to my friend... he didn't care for the look either.
I like the look.

I think it looks really tough. I agree that it would look really good exiting on both sides of the car and rather than painting it, polish those tips up nicely. I love the look of the exhaust exiting in front of the rear wheels like on the lightning and the viper. I wish someone would step up and make a rocker panel to accomidate side exhaust.

I will be putting a rocker panel together for this. Once that gets on it will really help with the looks. I am also going to be throwing some high temp black paint over the whole boom tube. No chrome for me.
The biggest reason I went with this set up was the price I got for it. I ended into this system for less than 1/2 of normal cost. Once you are all said and done with something like this using all Dr. Gas components, you will be close to or over 1000.00.

I might go with the summit x-pipe just because it's a ton cheaper. If not then the setup I'm looking at will run about $700. Just for the exhaust. Not including the body work that I'll be doing to get this to tuck up nicely.
