My neighbor has purchased it and hired a team of professional fabricators (the Graves brothers) to completely restore it.
If you really want a kick, go back and read the old issues of Car&Driver from that era and see how they FREAK on the Lambo's acceleration. Check it's quarter mile ET.
Granted, the top end is awesome, but the acceleration is no longer quite so impressive by today's standards... unless you are measuring its 100 - 180 mph sprint.

Well so far it has held up nicely...no problems what so ever. I was going to buy the Tanabe but the price of the Intense had me very interested. Researched a little and didnīt see people complaining about it and said what the heck. Only thing i would have to say bad about the y-pipe would be the packaging...but the y-pipe was unharmed Maybe if i ever have problems with it i will get the Tanabe...seems to be a great y-pipe from what i have read on these forums

I'm also interested in this exhaust, but I want to know if there is enough of a sound difference over the stock exhaust..I would hate to waste my money on something that isn't really different

Hate to bring back an old thread from the dead, but this is the very exhaust I'm looking at, and am very happy the search function finally pulled up a thread that gets at exactly what I'm looking for. Just one question, how is the fit/finish of the tanabe compared to others? I haven't much experience with tanabe, and don't know anyone running any parts by them. Also, the pics posted on the first page no longer work...could you possibly re-up them?? Thanks!
