Unique Exhaust idea!!!!!
I thought this up myself but it is worth saying, I'm trying to get a true dual setup but seeing the pix where the tips end up under the differential, I hate that exhaust should be seen not hidden. I love true duals and I thought I had true duals until I looked ****!!! tha mustangs get the advantage even the gts!!! so my idea is get the Texas Speed Rumbler (duallies) and have the side exhaust right before the tire and after the door. Now I know this is custom work, like the side skirt has to be cut and the back bumper has to be replaced, I don't want the exhaust sections showing probably put a camaro bumper. This would be a bad *** setup if it can be done. I am very optimistic about this. So any cooments.
once again in short
true duals side exits what y'all think?

People have already tried it, and the general consensus is that is doesn't end up looking right. I take it you just don't want to spend the extra $$$ to have them run up over the axle? A good system would look like this:

If you aren't expecting to spend that much, then you are kinda stuck with dumps. There is a lot of fab work that goes into something like that. I'm taking it you have headers already? If you don't, you'd better factor that in too...true duals off of manifolds really isn't worth it.

I didn't go TD for power, I went with them because I wanted something that sounded good.

Side exits can be done.. However, I wouldn't pay the cash for the TSP setup and then customize it. You should go totally 2.5" custom. It would probably cheaper and less of a hassle..

i was thinking side-exit exhaust would be sweet too. i like the idea of it. I wouldn't think you would have clearance issues if you "notched" the sideskirt and moves the outlet up into against the body. just a thought.

Actually a guy on this board has them done w/Sweet Thunders, Trans Am WS6 RGS is his handle. They look pretty sweet, he fabbed them up himself. You should PM him w/any questions you have, I'm sure he'd be willin to help you out. Here's his profile: https://ls1tech.com/forums/member.php?u=949 There's a video of his true duals in his sig. Check it out.

The thing is that I thought that only one pipe would fit over the axle. So with tha assumption I treied to be different and the side exit but that setup you showed me is sweet!!! Where can I get that setup or is that exclusive?

I am buying parts for duals over the axle. 2.5" from the x-pipe back. I am going with a Magnaflow X between the tunnel brace and body, to sweet thunders side by side, over the axle. Right now I have about $200 in parts (mufflers, x-pipe, piping) it will cost more only becasue I am buying headers, and high flow cats. I was going to take all the parts to someone and have them cut and weld it (I would, but I dont know how to weld yet) So duals over the axle is definitely more expensive than dumps, but just keep an eye out for deals, and if you can do it yourself, even cheaper.
One thing, I read that dual 2.5 WILL go over the axle. But should I get the relocation kit? Without it, will the pipes hit or bang the body? $200 is alot for something I may not need.

I had to drop in on this post and say I truly wonder how many polite responses this would have gotten had a guy posted this. I'll commend JRP for keeping to his tried and true "Use the search newbie" posting style.
You guys and your crack me up to no end at times...

Alright. It's really not going to look like a factory option without some serious cutting and filling work on the side skirts. I would try to use some ovalized 2.5 inch tubing, to save more ground clearence. The clearence aonly gets worse as you move towards the sides of the car. Also, use some chromed Z28 tips. These are pretty flat. They will hug the underside of the car and give you more clearance than any round or Rousch style tip. They will also look good in context with the straight, flat lines of the side skirt. You had better find some good exhaust hangers, or you're going to have a set of massaging bucket seats.

I put some side pipes on my car, but I made them stop just before they left the car. I really didn't think they looked good with tips or sticking out, so i cut them shorter, to stop just before the lower control arms. I had the turndowns and they were much louder than the side pipes, which cut the drone down considerably, I guess since the gases weren't bouncing off the ground and hitting the underside of the car. The side pipes are actually the original pipes that came off the stock muffler that exited out the back of the bumper, they woked perfectly as they were bent at the right spots, all i had to do was weld up a small section to make them fit. I'm sure an exhaust place could have done better, but I was more for function than looks. Here are some pictures that may help you decide on what to do http://community.webshots.com/album/79485783kIzaYY/1
