Exhaust pinched on 2021
It looks like the exhaust pipes are pinched on purpose towards the Back of the car. Any reason ?

That's normal on all the cars, it is for clearance of the X Brace on the Convertibles, it has zero effect on performance...

You have to make some serious horsepower for pinch to affect output.

ANYTHING that affects performance is a HUGE effect since it could potentially cost you a race. That pinch section is an abomination and should be removed imediately before it costs you a race.

It's the only OEM piece remaining on mine as of today, so I might as well zap it too.
