Custom Side pipes

Custom Side pipes
I was thinking today about a mod that would be more unique and I got to the idea of side pipes. I dont think i've ever heard of someone doing this to their Max. Can anyone photoshop a pic of a max w/sidepipes? What do you guys think the cost would be. Youd have do a little custom exhust work, fill up the stock cut out for the muffler and then drill a hole in the side. To me it doesnt seem like a lot of work. Im just worried about drilling the hole. You'd probably have to paint a little around the hole to. Anyway.. opinions and pictures

Nah my totally custom dual exhaust project is on it's way. I'll let you have this one.
Have a look under your car. I would think this would be fairly easy. just cut off the pipin and re-route it the the sides and what not, unless the suspension is in the way...

Hmm i didnt think of space for the muffler. All a muffler does is reduce noise right? Why could I get some sort of custom "muffler", where its jsut the the piping with somthing in the middle to cut down thenoise. Would that work? Also, would i lose any HP from doing this?

cool man. lemme know what you find. Im going to go talk to my guy at some point to see what he thinks. I'll have to have body work AND exhust work done though, which sucks (cant do it at the same place)

- - I think thats what he is talking about doing . having the tips come out of a hole in the side (hole cut in the body kit would be easiest)
I recommend getting the side skirts from a skyline kit when it comes out , they are supposed to lower body height by 2.5 inches, and you can cut it and mold it easy because its fiberglass or eurithane or something non metal. then get a custom tip made or just take one from the 5th gen maxima.

The Racecar Max that was at the 2nd last big Toronto Maxima meet at umm .. Alta Nissan (I think?) had a sidepipe setup on it. It was the loudest max I've ever seen. When he rev'd it driving by you, you'd have to cover your ears. Putting together a working setup of this would be pretty easy. Putting together a legal one though ... that's tricky

id really like to see a picture of his car. Do you know his name on the org? Or do you have any pics?
So i really need to keep the car on there, and some how make a muffeling system and have it all fit in there. Im goign to be dropping my car this summer and I live in Maine so i dont want to be scrapping all the time.
Also how would i cover up the exsiting half circle for the stock exhust?

Can you tell me why it would look cool to have side pipes on a max? I mean, I like side pipes on camaros, corvettes, etc. I just think it would look "odd" having side pipes on a 4d japanese family sedan. Im not knocking it, just not my taste. Would you just fill in the rear hole in the bumper? Might be kinda dumb having a pipe hanging below your doors if the one in the rear hangs almost in the bumper. Wouldnt it be too low? I know if you put it on camaros and stuff you can melt your bodykit, could it happen on a max too?....probably not? It would be unique though.....whether its pretty or ugly.....

i think so too . just make sure you work it out right... Ask someone to photoshop the Roush stage 3 side exhaust onto your car with a stillen body kit. And have the roush molded into the kit as well as possible. i think that would be the hottest setup IMO

Hmm. Well at first i actually was thinking how the blue max had it on FaF, but the pipes going up like a viper or those stangs would be friggen cool too. The only thing about that is this is my daily driver so the sound might be too much to remain that way...
