Side Exhaust pipes

Anybody ever installed side exhaust or seen a good side exhaust on a 3rd Gen ?
I am not talking about the cheesy cheap stuff

I mean something like this

Re: Side Exhaust pipes

All I have ever seen are the cheap ones. I don't think the body line on the 3rd gen really lend its self to side pipes but thats just my opinion. Picture not mine

Re: Side Exhaust pipes

Ground effects and side pipes do not blend well, but I have seen a few 3rd gens without effects that looked okay...

Re: Side Exhaust pipes

I have to agree about the looks aspect of side pipes also but thats why I asked
My thoughts are/were that side pipes may solve the true dual exhaust issues
of ground clearance and performance
I would have them ceramic coated in a dull grey or flat black color so they wouldnt really draw a lot of attention
The link I posted was just to show a true header side pipe combo
I would buy/fabricate the pipes similar to the old original Shelby Cobra
LOUD straight thru type
