Id go beyond that not looking bad and say it looks amazing... That is such a good job, it looks like an option the car was bought with rather than an aftermarket... Christ! I have a hard time keepin my headers tight to the heads and theres ppl out there doin **** like that with their exhaust... I say, if you can duplicate the quality of that car then go for it... It looks amazing!

Well... Figured I'd just rehost the images of this already done... Cuz, I really dont understand that last comment... They are side tips... and if you can look at these pictures and say something about cheese or whatever it is you said... well then... I simply have no idea what is wrong with you and where your respect is for the creativity of others.

Oh, I also wanted to add that this gives him true dual exhaust as well... and in a legal manner... Where as the only other "kit" that I know of is sold from Texas speed I believe... and It hangs so low its the most impractical thing you could do... as well as it being illegal in most states including mine and resulting in a failure of inspection since it dumps before the rear axle and directly under cabin space... sooo... I think this is a pretty good all around option!

Reminds me of a Roush mustang, if you want that style of exhaust- then you should probably get a mustang. Just like all the people that want that mustang exhaust sound with flowmasters. Its just my opinion though. With any of the birds, to me it looks stupid if you dont have exhaust filling in the gaps in the rear bumper- hell it was designed basically for that. But with the exception of the guys car above thats looks very professional, I couldnt see anyone else doing that though.

But when I think of side exhaust I think of C3 Vettes with the headers running right out to the side of the car right there to burn your legs!

Check out those trans ams from IROC. I wish that GM had paid the money to license a IROC Trans AM with that hood, front splitter / bumper, and side exhaust.
Those cars look so bad ***.
Here you can buy some front clips....
And here's the rear bumpers so that it doesn't look weird with no exhaust coming out...
And this is just sex... put on a nice set of wheels, drop it down a little....

My true duals dump right before the rear axle on my camaro and I passed emissions 2 months ago. And in my 79 trans am when i had to go in for emissions, I had to put on some cats and rig some side exit exhaust right in the middle of both doors. It looked horrible and the emissions place didn't say anything on that one. even when they had to hook up the sniffer to it....... and it passed

BUT in my opinion- Firebirds are not supposed to have Side exhaust.....so yes- get a mustang....According to your sig You apparently HAD one and switched. Its JUST MY OPINION though.
The Viper- YES looks badass, the Roush Mustangs, YES looks decent, but on a bird- No thanks, I'll pass with mine.
Just my .02. Take it with a grain of salt and to each is their own. Good luck with it if you do it Jumpinthefire.com and make sure to post pics. Who knows, it might turn out to be a hit!
