Re: Prototype Scorpion 147 GTA exhaust - what would you like?
We have got a Supersprint system on one of the GTA's (my wife's) and a standard one on the other. (Supersprint sounds fantastic - low, deep burr...ble!)
I know you are going to roll your eyes but I would like a side exit one on mine. I did have one on my track day Alfa 33 and it was fantastic. It sounded good and helped with performance. Originally it came out just in front of the back wheels on the drivers side as for some reason I thought it would be illegal to have it coming out on the pavement side. About a year later I saw a number of cars with exhausts on the passenger side so took mine off, cut it in half (so across the pipe) near the gear lever area, rotated it 180 degrees and welded everything back together again. So it then poked out of the passenger side. This made it quieter for the driver which was better.
I know you might thing this would be a bit odd on a GTA, but ultimately my car will one day become a track car, and although it would be a bit louder a side exit exhaust is a lot, lot lighter and more straight through. On the 33 I did have quite a large, long centre box and that helped keep the road noise down to legal levels .....and my did it sound good!!
I would be happy for my car to act as a 'mule' for this or something similar - as eventually I will be fabricating a side exit exhaust one day for myself, so may as well try and do it as professionally as possible.
And......having done it once before with some trial and error I kinda know what works......
