the silver spots in front of the rear wheels are the exits for the 3" unmuffled exhaust. the car sounds wicked with a lopey cam and LOTS of turbo whine.

You can now use your car to blow the leaves off the driveway. What are the SS lines under the rear end? PS. Car looks great.

the SS lines are the dual -8 feeds from the fuel cell to dual canister filters and twin 255l walbros. I shouldn't run out of fuel.
