Re: side pipe exhaust

I think it would make your car look like it has a V6.

Do either a single big tip on each side, or dual tips like the 2nd gen T/As had behind the tires.

Re: side pipe exhaust

Re: side pipe exhaust

lakers dont look to good on our cars unless you have no side gfx, but im def not a fan of dumping the exhaust on the side in front of the rear tires... just think.. engine blows and you have antifreeze spraying on your back tires at 60 mph... you can imagine the rest..

Re: side pipe exhaust

True, that would suck pretty bad. I'm fully made up my mind yet though so i might change my mind,

Glass packs are loud, but that is all. They don't really do anything for your engine flow-wise, just make noise. And as to whether or not that is good noise? That is purely subjective.......

Re: side pipe exhaust

glasspacks could sound good on certain cars. on old t bucket or a 30's rat rod hell yeah it sounds good. but on a "performance" car then not really. just sounds really loud and obnoxious. if thats somthing your looking for then go for it.

it is kinda fun to see a couple females walking down the street and you throw it in neutral and coast over to them and then just punch it and scare the hell out of them though. childish fun. i will never grow up, its to boring.
