I took my car in to the exhaust center here today and they told me , that no way would I beable to run my exhaust out in front of my rear tires. I believe they are full of sh**, if anyone one is from the Georgia area or knows if this can be done please let me know

Sorry, it's sort of off topic, but why is the rear end jacked up like that?

Don't know if it possible, but...

I don't know if they can help, but give my guys a call.

They have done great work for me in the past. If it can be done, I'm sure they can find a way. They set up my 4 centered tips with no problem. Really great guys.

Tell them Shannon with the red firebird recommended them.

I know you didn't ask for an opinion but I find myself compelled to give you one. Please bring the rear of that car back down. Your car looks good other than that. I just think it looks way too seventies/trailer trashie. But then again opinions are like azzholes...

The whole idea of airshocks is to raise and lower them when ever I feel like it!!! I have changed tires on the rear so it had to be lowered for now!!!!! I do not mind your opions, although I did ask for help with info. on an exhaust!!

I thought the whole idea of air shocks was for when you were towing a trailer. But anyway.... If you are going to run straight pipes, you should be able to have the pipes exit on the passenger side and perhaps the driver's side as well. If you are gonna run a muffled system, I think you will run into clearance problems. Maybe a set of cherry bombs will fit under there, but then you get into that whole trailer scene again. Good luck.

The rockers on our cars come down kinda low, and as bad as I hate to encourage you to do it, I have seen a Firebird that was done that way, but it looked terrible. It, coincidentally, DID have glasspacks on it, and it also sounded terrible. But to answer your question, it is possible, but not advisable!

believe me. you will run into clearence problems if u have mufflers on there. i do on mine. and i have air shocks too. everyone on this board thinks if ur rear end is higher then the front its trashie. said the same about me. granted i think you should get some bigger tires. not lower the car. just get bigger tires. but u will have problems with the whole clearence. by the way if u ever wanna talk my aim name is

when its done correctly it will not look like trailer trash

as in...........bigger tires in the rear, and drop spindles in the front

that blue camaro at the top is WAY too high in the rear IMHO

looks trashy

Third gens first annual spelling bee.

First up Wonderwoman:

Ok here we go. Spell OPINION.

Wonderwoman: o...p....i...o...n

Awwww too bad it's spelled OPINION.

Thanks for playing. And just for participating in our game
you will be given free fuzzy dice.

The first time you spelled it that way I thought
it was a typo but after you spelled it like that
two more times I figured you just didn't know how
to spell it.

Sorry, I've been cranky all week. I think I need a laxative.

IMO

In my OPINION, I would say it is unwise to run the exhaust
out front behind the front tires...

#1) heat.. it gets very hot, when idle.. and if you sit at a light with the windows down you will get all the exhaust in your window.. specially when it's cold outside and the exhaust condenses....

#2) it will look bad

#3) problems doing it...

#4) Issues with the police and local and State laws...



As for the back end being up in the air..

Actually, if it is done correctly it doesn't look bad. ie. with good tips and good hangers. I don't think heat will be too much of a problem, just angle the tips down and toward the rear. My old formula had the same setup with straight pipes and I never had any problems with heat or exhaust getting in the car. It kind of had a nascar look to it.
