That is one mean looking race car.

Is there any effect at speed with the downpipe pointed out the side up front of the wheels? I was thinking there must be some turbulent force on one side of the car with all that exhaust blowing out? Any thoughts?

It certainly makes routing the DP much easier.

Nice everything.

I also like the engine's color scheme. When everyone seems to have chrome or polished valve covers, Shawn's is black.

Downpipe

Seems like it would trip the starting line beam while building boost.
