Yeah it is a neverending source of amusement and disgust to me that the likes of Hyundai had full twin systems on their "flagship" sports model (the Coupe) before FPV, not to mention Honda, Subaru, Nissan, Mazda, ... the list goes on. Yep, real cutting edge stuff FPV. Great to be a leader in these matters, and even more convincing that the change was done not for any other reason than emissions. Three cheers for ... aaaah why bother

Personally , I think the XR8 an dthe GT and P's look greta with the standard pipes ! They are just a very attractive vehicle. Quads are pretty rice as far as I can see ! But thats just my opinion !

( I dont have any new teapot pictures on hand , but ya all get the drift Im sure ) :

It is. Even twin tips on a single system on an 8 is rice. Traditionally, twin tips meant twin pipes, so yeh, if anything non-functional added to a car is rice, then more tips than pipes IS rice, but nice rice.

I like this although the size of the tips maybe a touch too big. I may do something similar if i end up purchasing a boss powered car.
