I'd love to check this out too when it gets back to Bellevue! Though I won't be around until next Sunday. Will the car still be in town?

I'm loading her onto the trailer on Saturday the 29th man, sorry! But she'll be back in Bellevue by late November I'm guessing. We have a few stops to make after SEMA before it comes back up to hibernate in the Pacific Northwest!

This exhaust system makes me want to buy out my lease. I can't wait for the video/sound clips, but I'd rather hear it in person.

The car is currently being worked on at Fluid MotorUnion in Plainfield, IL. There is a lot of BLOG coverage on the build on their website.

Why yes, yes it is! We painted the car here in WA at JMI Motoring, and while the full exhaust, performance and aerodynamics work are being completed by Fluid MotorUnion in IL, my good friend Ryan at RS Designs is finishing up all the interior work: Steel + Suede =

Sound clips needed, I need to hear these cutouts! Are they opened via remote or is it hardwired to a switch in dash??

Nice. Looks like you're in the process of framing it in and having an open viewing area from above to see the work eh?

Any update? I assume this beast is complete since SEMA starts in 3 days. Please be sure to post up some pics of the final product. I was going to try to stop by FMU earlier this week but its been a hectic one being out of town all last week in Cali and Vegas.
