i know..........i was just saying you guys are arguing over something that wont be happening. Its a photoshop, there not perfect and eloy wouldnt copy that exact design. its not realistic at all. burnt bumper? why are the tips such a big deal. there just tips. not all product will be to your exact expectations.

Right now, we are looking at two options. GT and GT-Race.

The GT will follow in line with all our other GT series exhausts. Aggressive design with great sound/performance for both street and track.

The GT-Race is not for everyone. Set of spherical organic parts will probably be a requirement. Our GT-Race designs are not street legal and they are very aggressive in design. In this application, there will most likely be no muffler. Its going to be loud so its not for everyone.

The tips.

We are most likely be going with 3.25" quad staggered tips. I have a design background so I can tell you that the large tips as photochopped, arent our style. Its a BMW, not a JDM honda or something. No one needs to have tips to shoot out potato bombs, etc.

Then again at 3.25", it will still allow some of you folks to say, "Mine is still bigger."

No this is just a prototype (these tips are from their Porsche tt exhaust) the RPI GT/ GTR exhaust will have the same size tips (3.25 inch)

Eloy- How loud will the GT Race exhaust be compared to what Chris has on his car now? I might consider the Race since I don't drive my car everyday.

To be honest, I'm probably not going to get in on the GB, but I've got a list of mods in mind, and exhaust is definately near the top of the list. I'll start crossing things off the list eventually.

Definately interested to see what Eloy comes up with.
