What the heck is the exhaust on the POS next you your car.

Forget bananas down the tailpipe, I'd shove a whole pineapple down that!

the exhaust is like that because it has to clear the rear suspension / AXLES (if it's AWD).

Those things can put down some mad horsepower, a muffler that big is needed to help with flow. 22 psi is normal for those cars.

What is it? don't recognise the model, looks Japanese

it's an eclipse, made by mitsubishi, also known as a DSM (Diamond Star Motors) because it's a joint effort by chrysler and mitsubishi, hence the diamond (mitsu) and star (chrysler).

Those things, depending on the year, have some of the stout-est 4 cyl turbo motors that come stock in a production car. 25+ psi can be attained with the correct fuel turbo and driveline mods, on a stock bottom end. Yes, I'm aware that we can do 25 psi with the same appropriate mods, however we don't have a large aftermarket to supply the required driveline mods cheaply. You can make a 400+ whp DSM for 3,000 USD running 11's, and retain the complete interior and ammenities (I've seen it done more than once).

I want one.

495 whp, AWD. Stock short block & head. just a tad more than $3000 in mods, but not as much as it would take to get a Volvo into the 11's on the redblock.

^^

the exhaust tilts like that is not for the rear half shafts.

they are place like that for fashion, it looks like a HKS SideWinder. I was gonna buy a 5Zigen Titanium can and place it bit tilted, but it looked wack, just doesn't suit the car.

one of their car, a street legal (pass emission & safety), daily driven Talon TSi just did a 9.3@150mph pass.

Umm, ok.

Wanna race it?

It's a 12 second car.

true, you can't put a redblock in the 11's (and have it last more than one pass) for 3k, but look at the differences in aftermarket.
