"6 inch turbo back" pipes? :shock: :shock: :shock:

Maybe it's working for him, but bigger pipes aren't always more efficient. Very few automotive exhaust systems do anything to eliminate standing waves and actually tune the exhaust system. They could stand to take some lessons from the motorcycle world.
