Anyone seen exhaust through the body?

I was wondering if anyone has seen or has pictures of an exhaust on a thirdgen exiting through a body panel, specifically through the rear quarters behind the door like on the new viper. Ive been thinking of doing this, but I know it will take a lot of fabrication, which is why I havent done it yet. So show me what ya got.

The gfx wouldn't have to be touched

If i read his post correctly, he wants them exiting through the quarter panel, above the gfx?

I did a photoshop of this a while back ... the pic is on my other computer.

My car is going in the exhaust shop in the next couple of weeks and geting just this done.

I am going to run long-tube headers into an electrical cut out, and run two straight pipes out right behind the rear wheel well on the rear 1/4 gfx extension before the bumper... cutting 2 square holes (one on each side) and laying the panel with some carbon fibre to prevent the paint from geting damaged....

they do look rather large, pat have you been holding out?


looks like a sn95 mustang side pipe exhaust....probably not but extremly close to what was used on the svo cobra and shinoda boss mustangs of those years.

the wheels look like gta wheels but bbs made very similar wheels that looks very close to stock in sizes up to 19" that fit our cars. looks good though, much better example for side pipes that i've seen in quite some time.
