: Why is Everyone copying our Center Exhaust!?
kmitch80 10-12-2010, 06:20 PM So maybe i'm a little late, but it seems like everyone is copying our exhaust! Drove by the chevy and cadillac dealer earlier and saw the new CTS-V, which is the only sedan i would probably ever consider buying, but noticed it had the center exhaust as well... Altho it does look bad ass! But bmw did it as well, plus a few other performace cars and suv's.
snapped a quick pic of its fine A$$

BOYCHIKS 10-12-2010, 07:08 PM Lol... I just posted a picture on FB earlier.
Love the ride, I feel like the rear end is so ugly, but because of the center exhaust I like it. (yes, need bigger tips) Were supposed to test drive it, but didn't get a chance to go back up there.

scrapiron7 10-13-2010, 08:33 AM Who did Jeep copy it from is a better question. Its been around since the 60s.
Ford GT40 (late 60s), BMW 2002 Tii (mid 70s), Porsche RS and Boxter (late 90s) to name a few.
We aren't the first.

kokanee13 10-13-2010, 08:37 AM Too bad the new GC SRT8 is getting rid of it!
gottspd 10-13-2010, 08:43 AM correct me if i'm wrong, but only the cts-v coupe (and not the sedan) has the center exhaust, right?
gottspd 10-13-2010, 08:45 AM by the way, even the mini cooper s has a center exhaust... def. not unique, just ours is bigger!:D
kmitch80 10-13-2010, 08:45 AM true, but ours looks the best by far.

Guess you've never seen an 05-06 Ford GT in person :)
My point was no one copied it from us, since we didn't do it first.

Darkside 10-14-2010, 08:08 AM The one that bothers me is the Nissan Rogue.
