I knew you would bend your story after you got caught in the cookie jar. Figures.

If you think exhaust garnish on a car that an exhaust dumps into makes the car not a performance car or dismisses it's intention, you need to seriously turn off the internet for like five months.

Just cause they're not round doesn't mean they're not exhaust tips... This is exactly the same thing, they wanted the rear of the car to have a certain look, so they made the exhaust tips part of the bodywork

In other news, getting a GT350 without at least $5000 dealer markup is an impossibility.

Yea, totally cutting corners on a performance car to have exhaust garnish in the body that real exhaust pipes exit into, must not be a REAL PERFORMANCE CAR and dismisses the legitimacy of the car, right?

Two examples of the same thing on supercars, and a flame thrower photo because Rob thinks he is the coolest person in the world and posts his Evo photo doing it every chance he gets.

Totally not a performance car?


Give me a break... man boys.

NO, no, no. Since It's on a Mustang, it's cheap. If it were on an exotic or Evo X rally car, it would be totally fine.
I guess i should pull the heat shield off of my exhaust manifold because it's also a cheap solution.

You mean that plus those toy car exhaust garnishes right?

Because it totally ruins it for me, no way would I ever buy one now that I know it's not really a serious car.

Wow, that really does sound stupid...

lol ... Yea does sound stupid something here

just don't know why you name parts bumper heat shield then... So as for the Cadillac etc.

They need to consult you guys, because they doing it wrong. Razorlab knows better.

this is how its looks like closer the heat shield for the Lambo. Its not a fake exhaust FYI.

I think we talked more about this subject as much as we need to, at least me. lol
And completely blown out what I said about why I don't like it. ( because the RS and the Mustang is both performance oriented car very close building years and seems a very cheap short cut what the consumer sees, so raise the question where else they cut corners cheaply what we don't see? That is why I pointed out the fake exhaust tips, vs heat shield. if you guys forgot it , I don't care if the fake tip on the Acura exist etc different car and market )

If you guys wanna talk more about it feel free.

If I would be a big fan of the the car and its limited, I would understand.
Its not unique for the Ford the mark ups.

Sure cheaper is better , but if you want one I understand I have to pay it after I made my research making sure I cant get it cheaper.

As noise said you cant , so I would pay it gladly if I would need that that much.

Literally. the. exact. same. thing.

Just because it's a different shape doesn't mean it's not doing the same thing.

Look below. Exhaust terminating before garnish/heat shield = check. Garnish metal and attached to body = check.

It's so literally and obviously the same thing that it is fact.
