The x-pipe / center muffler delete kit from CG really improved the sound of the exhaust. I already have the valvetronic side cans from CG. Now with the x-pipe, the noise of acceleration from 3k all the way to red line is just intoxicating. Anyone who is contemplating about the center muffler bypass should just do it, even with the valves of the side cans closed, the difference is still noticeable.

This was the initial inspiration of my current build:



Hoping to see the FVD front lip early next week so we'll tackle the wing and the lip simultaneously.
What wing are you going to put on? You said something about the Turbo Wing? Are you going to convert a Turbo Lid or Put on a replica?

Fully functional turbo decklid like this one here:

This was on a narrow body though.

I plan to use the Misha GT2M wing blade to replicate the GT2 wing look.

Front lip is an FVD Brombacher 997.2 front lip.

In the mean time, I had these installed a couple weeks ago and still had not had a chance to post pics:
