It's a great story. Being someone who has to work with a lot of those who are in the 18-25 age range, it is pretty inspiring to see a young guy working this hard at putting his ideas to work. So many in that age range are boring/bored/unmotivated and haven't a clue what "skill" looks like, or why one might seek it in life. More power to the guy--the car is awesome, however flawed it may be; he's been the first to point out the reality that there will be changes needed in the application process. I'd love to see it in person.
As for the exhaust, I seem to remember seeing a similar setup on a few CP autocross cars, but the mess of pipes going into a single exit was behind the engine, rather than in front. This usually got rid of the passenger area, but it also helped to centralize mass. One needs to be more visible (as opposed to functional) for success at SEMA . . .
It worked.
