    The pipes coming out the bumper is simply the best, Bob :) I'm shocked the paint is not burnt though.

    It is the like the Scuderia, There is an outside pipe that goes through the bumper and the inner pipe which is the muffler pipe so the bumper is insulated from the exhaust heat.

    Loving this thread.
    I just wish that engine and power mods were mainstream like camshaft swaps, intakes manifolds etc. With the exception of the gruppeM CAI, the Toda strokers and exhaust, doesn't seem there is a lot to be done there.

    I plan of doing a real word test of the 4 exhausts I have to see if there is any noticeable difference between them. Dynos can be expensive and inconsistent day to day. I plan on doing some 3rd or 4th gear 2500rpm-8500rpm pulls timed with a data logger with each setup with the same environmental conditions.

    Others mods are simple, brakes, splitter, spoiler and diffuser. Next plan is suspension. Im going to play around with spring rates, shocks, and sway bars.

    You're right engine changes are few but plenty of braking and handling options which make for a fun driving car. Shocks, springs, wheels, tires, steering rack and sway bar changes, lowering are all available. It seems like you have already done some of these. If I had to choose more power over better handling and braking I would take better handling and braking.

    My bumper is slightly charred from the Tubi in the normal position (had straight pipes for a while too), so I'm also surprised there no scorching around that mid-bumper placement!

    Kenny - Tony (Drock28) I believe has done all kinds of exhaust tests - perhaps he will chime in or send him a PM.

    It was. Regrettably sold. Was just a 383/auto but probably the nicest restoration I've seen. Sold it for a 69 Charger 426/5 speed I'm finishing.

    A lot of mods on mine too, the goal is now to make a real Challenge car... Yes it would have been easier to buy a Challenge car, but, I've started my mods and now now Challenge cars are much more expensive. And my car had no accident, no hard racing and the engine is really healthy. I'm faster than most F355 Challenge I've crossed on tracks ^^

    list done:
    stripped interiors
    Roll cage OEM
    Challenge Carbon-kevlar OEM seats
    Momo steering wheels with spacer
    Schroth 4pts harness (for road homologation)
    engine supports Challenge OEM
    anti-roll bar F/R Challenge OEM + teflon pads
    Challenge drop links
    Nitron shocks with Eibach Springs modified
    Stoptech F/R Race Trophy kit
    Challenge OEM wheels
    Rear OEM wing
    Challenge grill
    F/R Hill Engineering towing eye
    Hill Engineering clutch release bearings and flange
    Formula GT propeller shaft
    Quicksilver headers
    Tubistyle exhaust
