My other little project

Aluminum downpipe is not such a good idea. Ever seen the exhaust gas temps on a turbo car?I know/know of a few people who run aluminum downpipes with no ill affect...

One of the new developments is a lot more people running aluminum downpipes these days!

I hope to do the same thing but I might use 1-2 ft of steel for the downpipe section then switch to aluminum.

Looks good, its not that loud out the side but louder than I'd want for a street car.

Loving it except for the dump in front of the front tire. Full blown race car?

I have an extremely high tolerance for loud cars. Truth be told it will not be that loud at all.

I would say so! However, Turbochargers do make the perfect muffler :)

I've had LEOs inform of the the contrary, usually in a non-civilized manner as well :D

I stopped in and saw it in person today, it's cleaner even then in the pics. It's going to be a monster for sure.

I wish we had some more time to discuss your projects. I ended up having the BEST surf and turf at the New Scenic Cafe last night... next time you're up it's my recommendation (downside - $46 a plate x 2 with drinks, appetizer and dessert = $150. We don't go out much so it wasn't too bad). You should send me some pics of the Lotus :)

Unspecting Rotard at car meet: "Hey dude, sweet rimz. Watcha got done to that GXL? Just a N/A-T?"

Me: "Yeah, just a small turbo and a front mount!"

Rotard: "Ahh cool man. So why do you have those huge tires? And how did you route the exhaust for the fender exit? Is that a large street port I hear? My car just blew up again so I'm looking at doing another rebuild and was thinking about a street port."

Me: "Umm..."
