Boom tubes? Flat side exhaust exits.... Has anyone done NASCAR style boom tube(s) exiting out the side(s)? I imagine this would be very loud, but wicked. I'd like to see a Y-pipe setup with either 1 large boom tube exiting out one side, or an X-pipe setup with 2 boom tubes exiting out each side before the rear wheels.

I have looked into doing this as well but was concerned with the heat issues. Can anyone speak with real world experiecnce on these

Re: Boom tubes? Flat side exhaust exits.... The only thing I dont like about the boom tubes is that if you run them right off the headers you have nothing there to scavange the exauhst. And if you run an X pipe with it, it would put the tube to far to the rear of the vehicle. Thats just a guess though. Not only that, but DAMN, a boom tube is expensive.
Re: Boom tubes? Flat side exhaust exits.... www.musclemotorsports.com sells used Nascar stuff... Try them before you plunk down $600 for a new boom tube.
I am running 3.5 oval duals and I could run a dual inlet boomtube if I wanted to but you would still need some mufflers or resonators otherwise you have open headers.

Re: Boom tubes? Flat side exhaust exits.... Yes boom tubes would be unbearable DD but man, they would look SWEET! Dr. Gas has an X with exits angled out 80 degrees. It's possible to do. I was just wondering if anyone had done this to their f-bod. Thanks for the responses... 
Re: Boom tubes? Flat side exhaust exits.... That's a great pic link thanks for putting it up.
I'm tempted to modify my current 3.5 oval exhaust so I could run a boomtube on the passenger side, I wonder if the longer pipe and a 2-1 merged boomtube would quiet my car down.

Re: Boom tubes? Flat side exhaust exits.... Click here http://www.bsrproducts.com/productframe.html and click on "Heat Insulation" and you will find heat shields for boom tube arrangements right at the top of the page.....I've been looking at these for a few years (I sold that car, but still have the links).

Re: Boom tubes? Flat side exhaust exits.... OK here is an idea. I already have the FLP's on the car that use the V clamps. Take 2 3" bullets and weld V clamps to each end, then weld V clamps onto the Boom tube pipes. Then all you would have to do is fab up a hanger for the boom tube out the side.
Would the placement of the bullets hinder the performance of the exauhst? Both the unequal and equal length crossover junctions have a X built into them for scavanging purposes. but I have heard that you should always put mufflers after the X.
I am seriously considering doing this.
