Default Exhaust - Base vs. NPP - Looks wise...
I took a pic of the standard and the NPP exhaust. I think the NPP looks much better because it really fills the area better and it looks centered. I think the NPP is a 4" and the standard is a 3.5" pipe.

What do you think? I can't wait until I get this car...

Standard



NPP

Outlets should be trapezoidal to match the rear of the car.

Oh geez, can you imagine the furor that would cause? All the "round exhaust" purists would have a cardiac.

I had a Borla exhaust on a C5 that the tips were the same shape as the tail lights..

I would guess a popular swap would be the NPP tips onto a non-NPP car.

That doesn't look that bad, actually. I'm not sure if I like it more than the 4 round tips, but I wouldn't be against something like that.

Wow that is really interesting. I didn't know there was a diameter difference before.

But, to me, it just looks like the flanges are bigger and not the actual piping.

I agree, I think it will be one of the first aftermarket items available.
