Default 60s GT exhaust idea?

Playing with ideas that have been in my head for a long time. One of them is to run the exhaust through the rear valance like the 60's era Mustang GTs did.

I did a little photo shop (which I suck at) as an idea. Was curious if anyone had done this and if so, if they could post some pics.

Can't decide if I like it. I think camaros look better without tips personally. The camaro I've always seen as a badass, mean, street car. True duals dumped is the first thing i'd do if I had a camaro.

I think it's creative, and looks ok. I just think a mustang thing should stay a mustang thing. Its kinda like seein a cobra with hockey stripes.

there was a thread that some started where they had a few valances photo chopped to do something similar.

BTW that idea was done in the Corvette before it was done on the rustang.

Newer Mustangs do this as well. Personally, I'm not a fan of it on an f-body

nice,
just last night saw a bently, same thing done, but oval tips.

maybe better tips/shape man, but either way i like it. there is no opening for the tips on camaros like on TAs so so matter what u do they just kinda hang there under the bumper...

i thought so too at one point, but wanting my hearing level to be good changed my mind lol true duals out the back under axle is better!

i like the ops idea but not sure if i'd do it myself i love those tail lights though!!!!

It looks good and would be different (compared to other Camaros) but I honestly think Camaros look better without exhaust tips. The only tips that I think look good on Camaros are CME, other than that it's should be tail lights and license plate out back.

Yeah I loved the way my car looked when I was just running the magnaflow muffler with no tips.

I agree! Do several photochops with different tips, different spacing and different hole gaps to find what looks the best before you make cuts like that. I think a drill hole-saw would work well for cutting a perfectly round hole once it comes down to it. Then clean it up with a Dremel, prime/paint a VIOA!!! You have something different! Great idea.

I might NEED to do that. I live on a hill and I scrap my pipes every time I go down. It's a horrible sound!

HAHA WOW, this is more of response than I expected.....

I agree that the tips are a bit too far out....

I'm also thinking that instead of cutting a true circle, it might be better to cut a half circle in the lower section so the tips inset into the rear valance....

Since my bumpers is scrapped anyways, (long story) I'm planning to try the "half circle" inset on my bumper to see how I like it.
