does anyone have any pics or info on side exit exhaust for 98' plus camaro. wondering if it will work

It'll work.. but you won't be able to drop your car without having to worry about clearance issues.

Speed bumps will be your new worst enemy lol..

Do a search for 'boom tubes'.. they're a nascar style side exhaust. I contemplated putting them on my car but later decided against it. Not many guys out there have them but you could check em out if you'd like.

yea search side exhaust, ive seen a few setups.... the boom tubes look the best but theres a few others that look pretty good as well

I like the looks of the boom tubes, but they're ear-bleeding loudness is prolly a bit much for my likings lol..

I saw a guy about 2-3 weeks ago with side exhaust on a Silver Z28 in Lafayette, Indiana. I have only seen the car once and it was not from this area from the plates. Super loud and he had exhaust soot on the side of his car.

Some setups have been known to leave paint discoloration due to the exhaust fumes.. I'm not sure how you could avoid that?

Do a search I've seen pics on LS1TECH before. I believe there were clearance issues though.

I know of two guys here locally that have side exit exhaust. Personlly if I were to do it I would go with a bent tubbing like how are stock y-pipes are to give a bit more clearance with z28 or similar tips.

I have plans for a side exit exhaust that fixes the ground clearance problem without using boom tubes. What I don't know about is whether soot or fumes are going to be a problem.

I think soot can be controlled by tuning the engine. My car is black, so as long as it doesn't actually hurt the paint it won't be noticable. Hopefully tuning will cure it. What about fumes though? Will running no cats make the smell noticable or not?

I can only imagine pulling up to a stop light with a slight tailwind and the windows down.

What would happen?

I would imagine the fumes would float right up to your face. I can smell mine all the way from the back sometimes, I'd think it'd be a bit worse if it were pumping out right next to you.

fumes would be no worse than the thousands of people that have exhaust systems dumped under the car. I'm doing mine with the dr. gas street boom tubes (the spintrap muffler ones) H pipe, exit on both sides in front of the rear wheel wells. Considering doing it with oval pipe, but I'm not sure if the extra LITTLE bit of clearance is worth it. My car is dropped on pro-kit springs in front and stock height in rear so I don't think it'll be a problem. I ran tsp true duals before so clearance won't be any worse at the least. I'll post pics when it's done sometime this month.

I saw some pictures with someone who had roush style side tips coming out of their side skirts, and it looked perfect. but i think those tips are like 150 each. ill try to find the pic

well werent you planning a single exit on the passenger side? direct the tips slightly back like on lightnings then you wont have that problem....

and since when does high octane exhaust fumes smell bad lol
