They might look good if they were done like the SN95 side exit exhaust.

Do you have any more pictures or information on how you ran the pipes under the car?
I'm looking at doing the same thing but having a hole cutout from the RS side GFX so they'll fit right in with the car.

Ok I see, I'm thinking about having it split into a ypipe right after the ORY that I have on there now and then come out the sides. I will have to get the car jacked up and get some piping and borrow my brother's welder but I honestly don't think it's going to be that hard to do.

Why not just go overboard...


kinda hard to see, but each pipe comes off the block and runs all the way back, 4 on each side. they double as a running board, that will melt your shoes!

The side pipes on that Ford are cool, but it appears to be a trailer queen, rotors don't rust after being parked at a show for 2 hours.

with them comin out infront of the rear tires looks good IMO, but a full side exhaust ala stingray vettes looks way out of place on a f-body. eventually i would like to get boomtubes or something similar. problem with sidepipes is fitting a muffler before u turn it out.

i have seen a camaro(green and white) with black side exhaust that looks awesome, but it had custom side skirts or something also. looked good
