Yeah, I am not diggin that exhaust... I would try to setup a small y-pipe to dual or just get a dump. Glad to see you got a FMIC on that rear mounted turbo. I love that color. My girl has a sixer in the same color, and when they sun hits it... Well, it is just awesome.

Holy ****!!! I love those turbo minivans.

Best sleeper when you build these things up.

Nice Z28 too.
