I thought about doing this years ago when I saw a stang with one.

Thing is I wanted to lower the car more than leaving the 4x4 and have side exh. To do it right, you'd need to go into the rocker. A bit too much work for me. Yeah at some point, I may do it. Pull the carpet, cut some of the floor etc. Only other issue is fuel lines and subframe connectors. I'd still like to try it but not now...

I think it looks kinda 1997. But if you like it, who cares? Do it!

If its a single tip out the side, its gotta be at least 3", polished with a rolled lip to make it look thicker.

The other thing to consider is how empty the back end will look without tips. We used to have a t bucket with side exit exhaust. Just be careful not to touch it. Burns hurt.

Imho camaro look night without the exhaust tips. I cut mine back and dumped them. I think the biggest issue you will have is ground clearance if you are lowered
