What a great car and build. Really nicely done man!

You should seriously ditch the y-pipe/dual piping exhaust though, just extra weight.

Extra weight? Really? He likely doesn't get full traction until 4th gear

We are talking a matter or prob 10lbs at the lowest point of the car, not a issue even in the slightest

I never said the weight is slowing him down significantly guys, just saying that splitting it that far up is not conducive to any better flow. I'd be willing to bet there'd be a slight increase in power from going to a single pipe setup.

We believe our attention to detail...

you might wanna rethink your logo. Anybody else see it?

That's hard to say and most likely not true. Dual pipes require a much smaller diameter to equal or out flow a larger single exhaust. But it's besides the point anyway. The OP wanted to use that rear section, I seriously doubt he did it for flow.

Do you have a problem with my logo? Or just a problem? This is a post about my car not my business so what's your problem?

[aproy]

great car. nice work as always. i have seen it in person and it is very impressive. i can't wait to hear what it sounds like now...

the logo does look a little familiar...

[nokincy]

^He's talking about the M colors being in the wrong order.. Great build!

[sharky]

Ha, you are right. The guy that did the logo is out in Cali and sent us a couple options and this is the one we chose. Never noticed the m colors being out of order. Woopsie

[frankenbeemer]

I've been told rearranging the M colors is good for about 15% increase in WHP. Nice work, who gives a fuck about the exhaust. Thanks for posting.

Just got the Alpina rear spoiler delivered, it's been a long time coming and I'm excited to see how it looks on the car, had the mt1 on it for the last 8 yrs or so
