Default True 3" dual SIDE EXIT

Hey guys, I had been planning this exhaust setup for awhile and had it done up this past summer. Finally getting around to sharing with you guys. As mentioned, it's 3" pipes coming right off the twin 3" turbo downpipes going under the car and into the cab then 90 degree out the sides. I fabbed aluminum heat panels which are not done yet. I'm going to take them off and have them chromed. I'm running 3.5" race baffles for mufflers as the turbos quiet the exhaust already. It has a healthy exhaust note at idle and 3500rpm+ the thing sounds like a big block open header dragster. I'm thinking about trimming the tips in a little. Let me know what ya think. Unique isn't it??

You need to trim the tips in to be flush. It does not look good at all right now. It has great potential though.

I want them out a little to keep from getting soot all over the car and wheels. I think I could take them in a couple inches though.

definitely unique. I think that it'd look better with the tips trimmed some... and take the body side molding off cause it kinda makes the panel/side molding look crooked.

yeah, i agree with the trimming of the tips, and what unSStoppable said, the trim looks crooked becuase the metal peice is at a different angle

looks like his hood ,might be poped. Yeah, not the route i would go with a trans am, but lets be frank here folks, the guy has 0ver 700 rwhp, i think he has earned the right to step out-side the box alittle on his apperance mods. Its a sweet *** ride man, we need some pics of under-body and under the hood now!!

As mentioned, no undercar pics. Sorry. As for underhood pics search the GMR Speed Twin turbo build done last year. My car was the donor car and they did the complete drivetrain. There's pics and dyno vids everywhere. I'll be going to a dual 4" side exit with about 1" tips instead of the 4" slash cuts.

Since I stripped the stock interior and did alum bucket racing seats, I put them through the rear seat area and built "heat boxes" to close them out to the interior to prevent them from heating the cab up.

Definitely needs a major trim down.

Also, removing the side molding would clean things up.

Very unique! It's got a a very "race car" look to it. Pipes being flush would smooth it out a bit, but I sort of like it like that. Good job thinking outside the █.

I think it would look great without the tip or a panel... Car is very clean, looks really good. But your creativity isn't going un-noticed. I think it is cool.
