For the folks here that complain that their car isn't loud enough and you don't care about cutting off your cats (although this may be retaining some cats) this may be your solution. You can just run the exhaust out the Bi-Turbo vents. Just rivet some stainless steel in the fender to prevent it from melting. The best exhaust system for a turbo is none so this will get you on your way. Plus it adds lightness.
For those that don't follow racing, the Mercedes AMG GT race car that runs in the myriad GT3 events have homologated the M159 naturally aspirated 6.2 V8 from the SLS. It is more cost effective, simpler and easier to work on.

Fast and Really Fast Sports Cars
Yep seen plenty of AM GT3 and AMG GT3 at domestic and international races. Intense. AM GT3 has gotten significantly louder since their debut. I am still in awe of AMG GT3's M159 battling it out with the newer engines that the competitors have. A proper NA V8 rumble that no other cars in the field has.
