Side exhaust on an FD?

Does anyone have a side exhaust setup on an FD? I saw a pic of a black FD with an exhaust coming out along the side. I was thinking that'd look pretty cool and sound nice and loud...lol I don't think I could do this with the emission police around. Have any of you other guys done this and what'd it entail?

There was a thread in the race car section about this a few months ago. If you do a search, I think you will find some good info.

Think of the flames that would shoot out the side. That would be cool.

I saw a picture one time of a pettit race FD with a hole cut in the right/rear side for the exhaust pipe. Cool idea just ruined the bodywork.

side exhaust

I've seen M2's race car and it has a side exhaust as well. You would have to fab a tunnel in the floorpan which eliminates any possibility of having a passenger seat.
