Not sure what you mean by x pipe coming out the side, I think you mean a true dual system that exits out the side. its been done before, ground clearance will be next to nothing.

the side exit was only an idea (because less pipe means less money) but in reality i got the idea off the vet

less pipe means less money, but if your paying a guy to make the bends, there will be just as much time involved.

just look at tsps rumbler x and scratch the idea of side exits and if youre on a budget scratch the rear exit idea too.. which if your a camaro doesnt matter looks wise much anyway

The only way side exit *might* work with adequate clearance is if you use oval piping and have elongated wide tips but I have not seen one done professionally before for the fbody application. Surprising.

just get the TSP true duals. don't do side exit exhaust, ground clearence will suck and you don't drive a mustang.

Ride in a car with dual before you get them. I had then and got rid of them because the interior noise is horrible. They sounded sweet at WOT, but sucked besides that.
