Exhaust won't void the warranty and if you need to take it to the dealer, it will take 20 minutes to swap pulleys back and change the tune back to stock. Either way, enjoy your new car!
the stock tuned exhaust already sounds nice enough but I can see myself putting at least a catback. Please don't tell me about the smaller pulley and tune.... I am already tempted but will do my best to just leave it as is. It is going to be tough.

His is red with white stripes, just missing the glass roof.

Got any new pictures OP? The one up now looks orange.

got a couple of pics when I picked it up but haven't gotten a chance to upload from my iphone yet. It looked orange inside the showroom that evening, had to be the lighting but it is red for sure. I wanted and could have gotten the glass roof option but opted not to. I drive in the canyons a lot, and falling rocks are not uncommon. A lot easier to massage a dented roof than to replace a glass roof.

Anyway, I am loving this thing. I love the choices in colors for the interior ambient lighting (I set to orange), gauges I set to red white blue, I set the halos around the gauges in purple , the programmable shift points uses flashing red "SVT" shift point light in the tach as well as an audible. The growl from the tuned stock exhaust is awesome!

The SVT performance package is well worth it. How does it compare to my Maggie'd 2010 Camaro SS? The camaro pulled noticeably stronger when in boost despite the weight disadvantage. It has more hp. The GT500 seems smooth in the power delivery but u can definitely feel it primarily because of the solid axle.

Anyway, I will post new pics soon.

I Lol'd at the license plate! The supra is cool and all, but I'd want something with a little (ok, a lot) better interior for the money I'm spending.
