I see the wing on the white car isn't the same as what's pictured on the blue car. They're both ugly, but the one on the blue car looks more serious/functional.

You know a wing is functional when its ugly lol. Of the two though, i would take the one on the blue car.

Wow the headers look like a stepped, mid length version.

The larger diameter tube you see is that way because it pairs with one other tube prior to mating with the collector, hence the diameter change. Coyote engines (such as those in the Mustang - not the '15 though) previously used two paired tube connections such that only two tubes converged at the collector. The 5.2 only pairs up two tubes such that three tubes converge at the collector.

You know a wing is functional when its ugly lol.

Sad, but true.
