sweet, but the exhaust tips will hopefully be different as they look to small for the bumper openings????

I wonder how all that piping would affect some of us who are running the full GTspec bars.

I see my gtspec bars going up for sale

I was actually looking at the Turbonetics ST system but someone told me they don't work on the Rev-up motors.

Plus someone made me a offer I couldn't refuse

The piping is going to be asymmetrical cause it looks to be a single turbo kit. Im surprised they're testing it with the stock exhaust setup. Im sure with a highflowing Y pipe and midpipe and straight pipes, that setup should be almost lag free (like the current ST kits out)

It appears they use one tip as a wastegate dump and another tip for the actual exhaust outlet. Thats pretty smart.

The tips due look small but the rear bumper is from a veilside version 3 bodykit....which has BIGGER openings than stock. So it would look fine on stock rear bumpers

all there intercoolers are in front or with none at all. i have yet to see a rear mount intercooler. unless you do a custom one and mount it in the trunk and cut through openings for the piping.

Someone with some skills could easily take a long aluminum pipe and have some aluminum strips tacked into it and some cooling fins tacked onto the outside and put it in the straight section on the passenger side to give some cooling effects.
