A new client brought in his Gran Turismo S asking for a bit more power. We recommended Larini Sport Cats & X-Pipe via Formula Dynamics and a custom ECU tune. The exhaust gained the car 8whp and the base tune an additional 10whp. After a couple revisions of the tune on our Mustang chassis dyno we gained a total of 28whp/20wtq. The notice in response across the RPM range is noticeable and the client was quite happy.


The car has a much meaner sound without being over the top and when you get your foot into it to over take, the car responds without hesitation and gets through traffic with ease.


The next stop was to compliment the car's new attitude with a look that equaled. To accomplish this, we disassembled everything that we could and wrapped the car in Matter Blue Metallic film. We also remove any bright work and painted it in Gloss Black, including the wheels.


The result is an OEM quality appearance with an appropriately custom presence.

Very nice. Sounds great. Want to get an exhaust on mine.

 

There are a few good options for exhaust for these cars. This being an S already has good sounding mufflers, the sport cats and X-Pipe were just enough to give it some nice bark. The QPS and GTS have similar exhaust systems, so here's a good idea of what an IPE exhaust system would sound like on your car:

I'm looking forward to getting some quality shots of it out in the sunlight after it's all finished up.
