Who markets / manufactures a center exit exhaust for NA cars?

All of the Turbos that I know f that have center exhaust use a Ruf CTR-2 center exhaust rear bumper and have had the exhaust pieces fabricated. Ruf actually made one example of a center exhaust for a Turbo R, the rest went for their CTRs. Its not that hard to have a good exhaust shop make the exhaust pieces.

The biggest challenge is getting a muffler in there big enough to keep the car quiet. Most center out's are very loud, custom made and won't work with stock headers.
Kai's above uses custom headers with a GT3 Cup muffler, not the cheapest option available but very effective.

That is a very good look, but do not forget about the paint and bodywork. If it is a street car it may be a challenge to do the tailpipes and have enough ground clearance under the license plate. I had a wild ice for this too a few years ago but was not sure if it was going to be easy to pull off.

Unless the exhaust plumbing on a NA car is vastly different than a turbo (I don't think its very different), the mufflers in their stock location do not present a problem. The custom bit is simply to take the muffler output and route it to the center of the car. Properly trimming the rear bumper is the bigger challenge. My Turbo R has no mufflers (turbos don't need no stinkin' mufflers), and the routing was actually a bit more difficult than if the mufflers were in their stock locations.

Steve, I got a good look (and feel) of Javi's setup on his sadly departed Ruf.

I'm looking for a decent donor rear bumper cover now.

Craig, I seem to recall someone (sponsor? or body parts manufacturer) posting here recently, and they were considering making some bumpers like this... Probably in the last 3 months or so... Or talk to GT3Tek...
