I just think when you can see the smaller exhaust pipe going into a bigger tip it just looks funny.

damn ! ill take one! only thing id change is the exhaust... everything else is super tight and clean.. the stance and look is KILLER... and then the exhaust tips just hangs down 1/4 inch too much and stick out 1/2 inch too long... its very import to have aftermarket parts "advertized" but on a 1. gen i think less is more

suggestions you say.. i would tuck two brushed or ceramic coaled 3 or 3.5 inch tailpipes and end them with a slant cut turndown... or let them exit thru the lower rear quarter

I'll post up some once the magazine is released. They really don't want me to give it too much exposure till it hits the newsstands.

Agreed. The exhaust just doesn't flow with the car's lines. The one picture makes it look like the angle the exhaust makes doesn't parallel the angle of the rear quarter. Maybe it's the picture though.

Another suggestion if you'd prefer to not cut on the car any more. Simple and sweet turn downs right behind the rear wheels. No tips just use stainless that won't rust or corrode. I say this because the car does not need any tips to look good. It has so much else going for it why take that attention away on exhaust tips? I'll be looking for the Hot Rod issue. Any idea on which month?

Absolutely love the car. I have been a Supra fan for many years. I have owned my 68 camaro for about ten years now and have been saying for a long time how a Supra motor would be a great transplant into a first gen camaro. I am glad to see that someone has finally done it. The interior in the car is just amazing, one of the best custom interiors I have every seen. The only question that I have is why you didn’t mini tub the car? It would look great wearing a set of 345/25 R20s in the back

I agree, Derek. Minitub it and throw some 335 or 345 drag radials on there and you will get some traction.

I like the all blacked out wheels.

This is the first car we've done with this setup. But it isn't the last one either. You'll see more improvements on future cars.

You will soon see our next project with the mini-tub and big tires up front too.

Nice. How big a tire up front?
