Default side exhaust poll yes or no rice or nice

Ok here it is. Like it or not. Simple enough to vote. I did this in my section. Had 149 views and only 17 votes. You dont have to explain yourself. Just vote on if you think it looks good or not.

Drgas has a street version of their boom tube now with spin trap built into it. It should look just like this pic. It can be painted black or polished. It should sound mean as hell.

It has a 1 3/4 inch height to the boom tube. So it should hang no more than 2 inches.

I say no......the only way it would look cool is if it is somehow built into side skirts like one of the camaro race cars had.

Very cool! Free flowing and light weight, but probably a bit loud for my liking.

Default Thought about it

I thought about doing side exit but with the Chevy bow tie tips, needless to say I decided against it and just dumped them instead!

looks cool, just be prepared to clean your rims & tires often from the exhaust.

Clearance should be better with the Dr.Gas piece, but still leading up to it is going to be tight. If you could make it look factory I think it could be a popular mod. Fabrication would be key, as it would most likely have to be custom, unless you could mass produce all the connections.

I voted "yes" on potential but needs a little better
execution. Through-the-skirt for sure and as far back
as you can. The more invisible it turns out, the better
(this being the opposite of "rice", producing effect
without show).

i like it. if you do it right, and it doesnt hang or drag on the ground, i think it should look prety good. id do it in black, im not into the polished bling thing, especiualy since there isnt really anything else on you car it would go with.
