So I've always haten Vette's with a passion but I always admired the side mounted exhaust also. I think I might see if I can fab this for my 7. Any ideas or comments?

 

Lots of fabrication involved, but doable! Be careful when getting out, because they get REAL hot. Trust me lol.

 

I plan on having a header -> exhaust pipe -> magnaflow presilencer -> pipe -> MSP muffler. The first pipe will be split with an electronic valve opening to just a hidden sidepipe. Header only, just for kicks.

 

It's just down right Un-American to Dis-like Corvettes!

 

All I can say is 2 things, it will be very loud because there isn't enough pipe length to add a pre-silencer and muffler, and forget about having any clearence, even for speed bumps. When I made my 3" exhaust, I had some pipe left over and made a side pipe for the hell of it. Comes off the header and angles back to the rear tire. At idle, in the shop, I need to wear ear plugs, not kidding a bit about this. I think I can fit 3 fingers between the bottom of the pipe and the shop floor.

One would need to use shorty headers and make a sharp turn outward, then an upturn and back to follow the rocker. The rest would need to be a long vette style muffler down the side of the rocker to have any hopes of bringing the noise level down and I doubt it would be very successful. Give it a try and good luck. Have some cash set aside for noise tickets.

 

Nice widebody man, looks great! If you go for it, post some pics man. They sell them on Jegs if that helps at all.

You need oval tubing for better ground clearance:

You could also get better muffling in there witha properly designed system. Just get creative:

or just run a twin loop, and cut off before it re-enters the muffler. I am sure you could weld a plate on where the tip exits.

 

I was thinking about doing the same thing, mostly inspired by the dodge viper side exhaust, but there would be some major fabrication to make it look decent, not just have it hanging below the car.

 

I want to run out of my downpipe to a muffler and turndown to the side. I dont think that would be bad

 

Thats going to depend on what muffler you use. The sound outside the car probably won't be too bad, but inside it will most likely be unbearable because of the sound waves bouncing off the road and back up into the cabin.

man i love that sound

 

not as much as i loved making that vid

 

nice work, but LOUD!

 

it must of been loud. i dont get it alot of kids in my school say rotary motors sound like they are farting. like the fart sound. but i love the rotary sound. i bet 10% in my school own a car and 40% say they own a car. me and my friend bug one another. he has a chevy camaro. so i say your motor will blow trying to keep up with me. lol great times.
