I doubt the addition of a no muffler/straight pipe exhaust system will gain anything measurable with this car. Not to mention it might cause your neighbors to shoot you. The system on this car is pretty free flowing. Again, the turbos at this level are about maxed out so until we upgrade those (which we have available) you are not going to see any large gains regardless of what you do to the car. This system on the car now is a pretty stout setup.

Regarding methanol as was touched on in our other thread we are not big supporters of it. If the system is being used with a 50/50 mix strictly for cooling that is fine as when the system fails (and it will) you are not looking at any severe engine damage. However when using 100% methanol as a supplemental fueling solution you are opening the door to a big "?" in terms of reliability. We have never seen a system not fail and even some of the fail-safe systems have not done what they were supposed to do.
