So I was wondering for a while how would it look to have a side exit exhaust, so I did...





Sorry no sound clip yet, but here are the specs: 2.5 pipe, catalitic converter deleted, stock Y pipe with precats and a spintech muffler...

I love the whole setup but now the car sounds like a v8 while idle lol, so I might change the muffler to something else.... So I want input what do u think?? Keep or no?? And before anyone thinks it was a waste of money well the muffler was free and my friend and I at his shop did it so no money spent ;-)

 

I would cut the side skirt and tuck it up underneith it with a mider cut. I love it though.

 

Nothing wrong with making people think you have a v8.

I like the idea, I've thought about doing the same except on both sides.

Just do something to fit it into the side skirt.

 

Certainly is an easy way to shave a few pounds.

 

Thanks for all the great input guys, I was thinking on doing the whole cutting and put it a lil higher but if I go any higher it will hit the edge where we put the jack stands :-( ill take a pic later...

 

Cut a hole up under there and make it fit. I put my jack stands in multiple places so taking one would be ok with me

 

Hehehehe sounds like a plan then, do u remember the metal piece the cars on fast and furious 6 had on their side exhaust? Would it be kool or nah?

 

just a few suggestions...
cut the pipe so it's flush with the body line...maybe a 30 degree cut.
consider getting a SS piece so it won't rust.
for style points consider getting oval pipes to tuck up into the skirt.

 

Ive considered some type of metal guard for my rear bumper as I have noticed a bit of discoloration from my exhaust on the bumper. If I found one/came up with one I liked, I would do it. I'd say the same goes for the side exit.

 

Not good, exhaust fume exits right at the rear entrant. Kid, dog, passenger will likely use that curb-side when you pick them up.

 

Not my cup of tea, but out of curiosity, why didn't you split off from the turning point under the car and have a pipe go to the other side as well? I've never seen just one side exit.

Kudos on being original, though.

This looks really interesting, I highly agree on tucking it into the side skirt. I would suggest making a metal guard that protects the side skirt and the general area. Please do make it flush with the body.

 

Thank you very much for all the input and the suggestions!! I will make it flush and I will get the guard ;-)

 

I was thinking painting the pipe black? Also considered a SS piece but dont know what would be the best...

 

Totally right on that one man, thats why they been using the driver side to come in and out of the car ;-) but thanks for the concern. ..

 

thumbs up to being different

 

Thank you Sir ;-)

 

Not too shabby.

 

In for sound clips!

 

Looks decent. How loud is it? Do you plan to put on some exhaust tip (just to make it shiny and not rust with time)?

 

If you had left the stock y and cat, you'd get a nice little grumble at idle and a low roar at wot. I had pretty much the same setup but it didn't exit, just dumped before the rear beam.

 

Thanks man ;-)

 

Am working on it ;-)

 

In it for the sound clip. This is awesome dude! Highly considering.... Did you end up bolting it on or welding it on? I wanna know the details.

 

Thats exactly the sound I have because its a 99 cali spec and I have 2 precats thats why I took off the actual catalitic converter ;-)

 

It was all welded 2.5 piping with the spintech muffler dude ;-) sounds clip its coming am at work rite now...

 

Is it just hanging? Or do you have it holding on with exhaust hangers?

 

Look close on the pic of under. You can see it's welded to frame.

 

Reminds me of my Cobra! Looks nice man, now get some chrome tips on there!

 

Didn't the maxima from f&f have a side exhaust

 

^^^^^^^ yeah but it was behind the rear wheel

 

Sorry I am on my phone, couldnt see the picture very well. Now I do, thanks!

 

Looks great! Id like to hear the sound. They sound so mean with exhaust an a intake.

 

Ill be off sunday and I promise ill make the sound clip guys!!! I might as well get a tip and raise it a bit even if I have to cut the side skirt ;-)

 

Am freakin sad, today on my way to work a California CHP decided that my exhaust is not legal and too loud :-( so now I have to change it :-(

 

Is it illegal because it was too loud or is it because of its position?

 

According to the officer both, because is a modified exhaust and because is loud :-( I almost get state ref ticket :-(

 

Here in cali any exhaust modification is ilegal thats the law, so even after trying to argue with him hes right, and once he said he will give me a state ref ticket if I continued arguing I just shut up :-( so now I guess ill go back to my 2.5 piping and vibrant muffler :-(

 

But it's legal for a dude chic to win the homecoming crown?

California sucks...

 

Dang. That sucks. Sorry to hear that. I have to say, that's a pretty stupid law.
