It has straight pipes (no H or X) with Borlas at the end.
I don't like the poping sound when you let go of the gas.

The sound is great inside the car though and it sounds better in real life for some reasons.

I also think that, for sound,axle back mufflers suck, period.
I haven't heard a S197 that made me go WOW... Like a Termi or a push rod engine.

I woulf love to hear a 3V with mufflers under the floors (there's room).
As anyone done that?

There are a couple of mid-muffler systems available. Pypes makes one.

I have a custom mid-pipe setup. I have an O/R X with Dynomax Race Bullets. I still have the GTA's in the back but I did run it without the over axles. I sounds mean that way. I was thinking about doing a custom side exhaust using this setup but I wouldn't last 5 minutes in my town without getting pulled over.

I took more pics of the underneath and it's reinforced with a lot of extra welding for stiffness.
The rear suspension is pretty basic for a car that will be on the track for 24 hours[&:].
A lot of you guys are wasting money on your DDrivers, with BS mods in the back
To be fair, they are limited with what they can do to the suspension; I know for the Koni Challenge they have to keep poly bushings and can't go to rod ends. Someone pointed out that the Porcshes are still faster in the corners.

Regardless, I * really* appreciate the photos. that thing is beautiful.

The car sounds exactly the same as it does in the vids. It was shot with a 1080i HD camera so its as dead on as your going to get.
I think it could sound better with a diff choice of mufflers im sure. Im not a fan of borlas either way i think they all sound like POS. Borlas are a rip off IMO

Couldn't agree more...
Porshes have the best handling in tight corners, since day one.
Old Ferdinand knew his stuff...

I'm gonna try to follow the races over there via my buddy. I hope he'll do well.
Heasked me to sign the car for him, lol. Not sure about that, I don't want to create bad luck[&:].

It would sound so much better with a crossover pipe of some type. The straight pipes definitely don't do the engine justice. Otherwise, badass man.
