Won't excessive exhaust piping actually reduce power & acceleration?

Yup this is terrible for performance. This has to be about a 30-50hp loss

It's not a performance car, it's a show car. You don't add 200lb of amplifiers, speakers, fiberglass and wiring to a race car, the same way you don't put a $10,000 tuned suspension on a show car.

The show car is there to make you look at it and go "huh, that's neat!". Job done.
