Yeah, very interesting. The purpose of this is to draw the exhaust out quicker and reduce backflow? I remember a long time ago, J.C. Whitney (the grand daddy source of all automotive add-ons) sold this small fan-like thing that attached to the end of an exhaust pipe. Supposedly, once the exhaust started it spinning, it improved the draft, especially on deceleration. It was only for those tiny British sport cars, w/ very small displacement engines. The question is, would the same principle give the similar benefits with today's engines? Man, anytime there's something about inexpensive performance mods, I want to know more about it!

Think about the intake piping that will be needed.

They way they position the turbos . They were just a lil lower than the bumper. Maybe like a 1/4 of turbo sticking out. To think they did wit a vette that is so low.
