Topic: Exhaust out the side
in Forum: C3 Fuel, Emission Control, and Exhaust Systems
Thinking ahead a bit about cleaning up the back end of car when its done. I selling my sidepipes so I was wondering if there is a reason the exhaust on our cars couldnt be routed out the side like some do infront of the back wheel vs the back where to mufflers show?? I was going to use chambered exhaust so mufflers size should not be an issue.

As long as you have ground clearance, I don't see a problem. I have seen it done before some time ago. Make sure the exhaust clears the body enough to not damage the paint.
Not really to my taste, or what I would want, but I admit it's interesting, and can be a bit of fun.

I plan on doin the same thing with mine sooner or later. I want a rectangular piece to go out the side, something like nascar, for better ground clerance. I'm really thinking about 86ing the mufflers and just run thru the cats, nothing against the Harley guys and rice rockets or 18 wheelers with 6" stacks and no mufflers, but if they can get away with it, why can't I? I use to work in the drag racing world, and was around a lot of fuel cars before the ear protection came into play, so I'm half deaf anyway.
