strill Im just wondering wouldnt it have been better to run an exhaust of exhaust side of turbo and out the side of the fender like the s2k from hell(if youve seen the video) or is it just your personal choice to have it that long

thats cool man I was just wondering. your car your style I just figured if you are boosted You would prob want the shorter exhaust since you have a good amount of flow going out of that thing.

If you run them on the ground enjoy any bumps in the track esp at the top end.

Would you even want to run them to the ground? If you're running slicks, I'd want the traction bar wheels to sit a bit above the ground so that when the slicks expand once you're going, it will lever/pivot around the rear axle, put the traction bar wheels on the ground, and then push the front slicks into the ground better. No?
