are you kidding me? You think that exhaust is a good idea? for what reason, is that a great idea for the power he will be making? To me it looks like someone was bored, and wanted to be real cool and pretend they have a drag car. That manifold is a big POS (i dont care if polk made it, log manifolds r shit) and that exhaust is ridiculous. Unless he was going to push the limits of a 3" exhaust wich i HIGHLY doubt, something like that is 100% unecessary and just for show purposes. And besides, with that junk muffler its not going to help. I guess routing the exhaust through the engine bay, and right up against the radiator so you cant run a fan, is the cool in thing to do. I guess im just not hip to this new badass style. 
Might run better with a regular 3" normal mandrel exhaust. Sorry doent get my vote for the vehicle its being in and being street driven. Not a hatter just a bad Idea for a street car let alone the money it took to build it.
although i dont totally agree with lewroe's setup its totally badass looking and a sweet drag only setup. mirage i think yours will produce less heat under the hood than his setup would. i give you guys a 
. But like a few have said, I would not want a log manifold, thats a major downgrade for several reasons. A good upgrade in spool up would be to switch over to a ported EVO or 2g exhaust manifold with the flow divider kept intact. It won't be different but it will work very very good in quickly spooling up your big turbo. That shortened exhaust system probably also shifted the resonance tuning way the hell up there in the rpm band too. You can't post something like that and not expect people with a basic knowledge of Automotive Engineering to pick it apart. I do admit it IS cool looking, just not practical.
