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

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.
