Yeah i dont like those empty holes neither i was thinking of putting some fins in there like the ones some cars have for wind deflecting. I havent really payed attention to the formy's rear bumpers, but that sounds like a good idea.

Right now i am waiting for some sweet thunders to put after my spiral flows. Its just the loudness of it that gets me. I think once i get my sweet thunders the 90 will be like a foot away from the side exit. After it is all fabed up the way i want it i will post pics of the underside and a write up. Right now its just straight pipe after the spirals to the tips.

That is the same thing i saw. The formy's bumper does not look like it flows with the sideskirts.
