If I had my way I would also have a 6spd sitting in my garage.. 
I can vouch for that g-force, I ve been lucky enough to get a ride in this jet and yea its so fast when I get out of the car my whole body is num

So I am expecting similar cars like Ryan Woon's roaming around the streets.

Well guys I just came back from a little road trip....First stop was handing over the Evo8 in SD for the new GT42R install...then it was up north to see how the Supra was doing...To my Surprise the exhaust was almost finished...The boys from Borla (thanks for the sponsorship guys) where there today to custom fab. a 5inch oval titanium (final material decision rests with Steve) exhaust...then next week, the ENTIRE system gets a special coating (inside and out)...here are some photos....enjoy..

Anyone who can appreciate the space constraints where you are plumbing all that, can understand the amount of craftsmanship involved with the fabrication. Very nice. Now for the charge piping, is it going to be 3"?. Curious to see where the rear turbo's piping is going to go.

Amazing progress, I imagine they'll prob have to cut/weld an angle into the front compressor housing for the rear turbo in order to route it forward.... Man, the craftmanship does look amazing on that piping so far....

I wanted the entire header/exhaust out of inconel like the F40 has, but Steve was 'dead set' on his materials!!
The twin Tial 46mm wastegates are going on today..I will have more pictures shortly...
