McNord actually has a set up like that planned in the renderings of his car, not sure if he was still going through with it or not though. And someone on here with a black t/a custom cut his skirts to all for the side exit.

I love that look

Super easy for us to do based off the side skirts we have planned. Who'd actually step up and order though, that is where ideas always fall flat and my bank account stays negative, lol...

i thought about this when i first got my car but with how close the fuel lines and fuel filter would be to my exhaust plus changing the filter would be a bitch and a half!!!!

This truely would be the first thing from 6LE I'd buy. I've been trying to figure out a decent looking side exit exahust as long as I've owned the car. Tryed a couple of times and failed. If this ends up looking good - I'd pay, threw the nose if I had too.

This is also a good idea for those with true duals dumped before the rear end.


Ha Ha , my post count finally changed, I've been stuck on 24 for almost a year. Before it was stuck on 23 and a mod fixed it for about a day.

So these could be made of metal a look similar to the WS6 side skirts just a little lower/thicker. A bent tab along the door edge to hold it on and folded over where it sits along the fender and quarter panel sides. Also bent 90 degrees at the bottom to clean the look up. The opening for the exhaust could be circle, oval, square or even leave to plain so an owner can do their own thing! Tools needed: brake (to bend the steel), cutoff wheel (to cut exhaust openings. Seems it could be simple enough!

yeah def both sides.. if i had one of those svt lightnings with the exhaust on one side, i'd be having another skirt custom made to come out on the other side also. looks weird to have it only on one side.

i'd order if it wasnt too much..

yeah i remember the guy that took porsche tips and ran them to the sides after he cut the stock side skirts.

^i'll try to look up the guy that did it with his t/a. it looked really good. and in the PS renderings McNord has put up in several threads in the past, he always had side exits. I'll try to look them up later.
