Side Pipes ... Crazy or Ignorant

Some of my "friends" like to get on my case about driving on the street with slicks or the fact I had no mufflers on my turbo car.

So I decided it was time to put some high flow mufflers on ... but just to spite them I stepped up to 4" on each side and put side pipes to boot

Yea, I have a small racing muffler inside the fender. I will post some more pictures. Here is the engine bay to get an idea of where those pipes came from :

345 BFG's were holding up 3rd and 4th gear. I had those sticking out about 1/2 past the fender to. I plan to buy some nice Bogart Bolter RT with Bead Locks. Keep with the race look

Yea, comes out on an angle, so when cut flush with the fender it has a unique shape. Now cutting the second side to match was the hard part !

I actually ceramic coat and exhaust heat wrap the pipes. I have had no issues with the inner fenders which the pipe actually comes in contact with.
