Exhaust is no lower than standard car. Standard car exhaust has been proven to be to restrictive for even mildly modified 5.0 engines (anywhere over 280hp at wheels). Single exhaust allows far better tuning possibilities as well as taking the noise away from the drivers side which is very important regards driver fatigue for endurance racing (my apllication).

I will probably start a war of words on this one, but here goes...............I thought the cars sounded terrible with the dual exhaust (without a balance pipe between the pipes). A flat horrible resonaty noise with no go to back it up!!
