Hi guys im thinking of getting a side-exit exhaust made. I have read a few threads on this and it sounds like alot of work to do to put it out at the rear, what about putting it out at the front drivers side of the car? Could this be done? i no it would be crazy loud and would get me pulled alot, will it affect performance? just want someting different and would be a great weight saver.

side-exit exhaust ?? seen one on a mk 1 xr4i with a big v8 stuck in it,you can make them loud or not,what this lad did was have 6 thin steel plates,over the exit with 2 bolt holes mounted on the side,he said back pressure was there the more you tighten the bolts as is the noise,

not sure about that because he went for a blast and my ears went pop!!

Surely doing that would cause performance issues, I assume you are running a Turbo? Would have thought this would have been more suited to NA engines, hence why you would see it in the American Muscle car scene.

 

What about heat?

Yes mine is a TT, Will be putting my single on some point this year. Any ideas on the heat? I would imagine this would be an issue to? I thought it was better to run a shorter pipe off a turbo?

Ever heard a Merlin engine in a spitfire? It has about 6 inch long exhausts- similar effect , the cops would hear you for 5 miles,and sheep would drop dead in fields as you passed by!

 

:D i live on a farm dont think my dad would be happy killing his sheep and cattle

Not too sure, generated heat in that area would be my main concern.

 

I think a scream pipe there is a good idea :eyebrows:

Surely that wasn't a road car? Flame thrower and all? I bet pedestrians loved you!
