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$$

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.

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.

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.

The C5 corvette in the late 90's is another that comes to mind
