    It's a nice example, it just has some unusual applications, no idea what that supplementary tube is for.

    Perhaps someone modified the exhaust system so the wastegate exits directly out to the atmosphere?

    Kinda reminds me of a Toyo Proxes R888 tire (although the tires on this car are a different brand)

    Tony Shooshani's car. It was on display in the lobby of the Petersen Museum (i.e. at one time he had two, but he parted with his other one - - 55713 - - just after he showed it at the Ferrari in America 60th Anniversary Concours on Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills).

    Was there any factory option for the matching coloured bumper or some people just painted it later on. I've seen it in three different cars over the years...

    Under full boost, it sounds like one massive exhaust leak when the wastegate vents directly to the atmosphere! (bypassing the rear muffler)
