Just curious; why is "Formula" a good idea? Formulas are the notch-back style.

This is a really quick and crappy mock-up of an idea but, How about a Fiero Pegasus stretched horizontally?

Hey cvxjet,
That's a good idea... I will float that one and see what RPM says for the more "classy" custom set.
I have decided I am definitely going to do one of the custom sets as something completely ridiculous, utterly tacky, bordering on JDM rice/hoonigan. Simply for the fun of having them and throwing that set in when I go to some of the import/ricer heavy car gatherings, or when I take it to the track.
This is my juvenile car. My adult car is the one I drive to work everyday, my professional corporate-esque four-door sedan. And in two or three or ten years, if I grow out of the novelty of having the silly "Got Boost?" preceded by the picture of the turbo (or whatever I'm going to do)... I'll box 'em up, or mount them in my garage and run power to them as a wall decoration or something.

I added another pic/mock-up....
What has me really wondering; Why has the fart-can sound really caught on? I can understand 4 cylinder cars, but now they make V6s and even V8s sound like Fart-cans...I heard an SS Camaro the other day and it sounded like two hondas fighting (And both were LOOSING!)
And then the new auto trans quick shift with (Apparently) throttle cut....Whaaaaaaa-THPT-Waaaaaaa-THPT-Waaaaaaaa-THPT-...It sounds utterly terrible! For my Sports car, I'll take a manual trans, and for my V8 cars, I'll take the good ole V8 Rumble...(The other day I showed a neighbor kid my Jet boat- WARNED him, told him stand up by the bow...He still almost crapped himself when it started!)

I hear you (haha! sound puns!). I don't know why that caught on, but hey, it's their car, and they like it. When I talk to these guys at the shows, sometimes I ask about stuff I don't understand or don't like (though I'm usually polite enough not to say it to their face), and they usually just shrug and say they like it. Good enough for me.
Would I do that to my own car? No. The cam going into this engine is a touch aggressive, so it'll be a little loopy, or as my friend says, it'll sound like "potato potato potato potato". On my cars, I like the exhaust to be as quiet as possible without a huge performance impact. I like to listen to the radio when I'm driving, and exhaust note + competing stereo = headache very quickly.

Back when I was young many decades ago, we had what were called "Turbo-mufflers" which apparently were originally used on Chevy Corvairs...Very quiet until you really romped on it- then they would get loud.
My CVX-20 Jet boat has a 460 with a slightly hot cam......It idles smooth and quiet- usually when there are some wakers around me, in the marina....But when the sheriff's patrol comes by, then the engine starts to lope, just tryin' to get me in trouble!
Here is the high-fidelity Pegasus design;
Here is the actual address (I think- Stu-pid compukers!); https://www.bmexpressions.c...s%20Hood%20Solid.JPG

How about one with this saying: Type R, just as ice.

I think that with a design that is continuous like the stretched horizontal Pegasus or script that carries all the way across, there will be a blank area in the center. That center portion is filtered and won't be lighted. It will be a dead spot in the image.
