My only question is what are the advantages of this?
I thought most people do this have 800hp+ with a straight pipe from their exhaust where you would gain advantages of flow.

So let me get this right
You've plumbed your new exhaust under the bonnet right next to your brake fluid res & abs pump oh & your chilled air from your intercooler
+ all that hot exhaust heat under your bonnet
When you've gave it a good raging touch the tip of the exhaust & let me know what happens

I have to admit that I'm confused as to the benefit of this mod.
My natural thought is that it's an attempt to minimise loses through having a long exhaust for the pistons/turbo to push against by having a shorter pipe.
But then - surely one could achieve the same benefit by having a shorter pipe that terminates under the car - so presumably there must be an aero-dynamic advantage by having it exit at the side - perhaps the air rushing past helps create a low pressure area for the exhaust to exit into?
But then - isn't this on a leading edge - therefore - not a low pressure area?
I'm *SO* confused - but intrigued!
Please can anyone explain the madness behind the method?
Sorry mate, as you have plumbed up your own car but that pipe runing up to the intake looks like it comes from the intercooler to me
But then what do I know

Oooh, I quite like that - was it an easy ( ish ) fit and is it all hidden behind the bumper?
