kosmic Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 I currently have a HKS Hi-Power exhaust system and wanted to change to something that hasnt been done before. I came across the idea of quad tailpipes from the rear of the current Corvettes and think it looks really good, the only prohibiting factor maybe the fuel tank being in the way, the other idea was having the pipes come through the ab-flug type diffuser...F1 style I did a quick crude paint edit on the abflug supra for your thoughts, opinions and suggestions...? http://img501.imageshack.us/img501/9902/supraabflugot2.jpg http://img501.imageshack.us/img501/9902/supraabflugot2.8de7d61cd5.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tooquicktostop Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 I like it but I cant imagine it will be cheap to make because it will have to be a one off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guigsy Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 looks good on the abfug car.... But not a more normal supra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michel lane Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 The fuel tank is in the way . The only is to put the fuel tank in the boot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only is to put the fuel tank in the boot. yes, that being the main problem aside from custom fabrication, an ATL fuel cell would be the answer mounted in the car.

kosmic Posted June 28, 2008 Author Share Posted June 28, 2008 On Some cars (Bmw E39 M5 & E46 M3) the rear back box is laid behind the fuel tank from left to right and then the exhaust pipes protrude from this, i think this system may be possible in the very small gap between the tank and rear bumper...similar to this: http://img46.imageshack.us/img46/4967/gruppeme46m3exhaustdpqg9.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homer Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 Yes, you could do that, it's the only way without messing with the tank. It'd have a very poor flow and will not help the engine at all. It's a step too far for the sake of being different IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see the sharpish angle being a restriction, will have a closer examination under the car tomorrow me thinks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gordy07 Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 Thats a good idea but lots of hassle and exspense for a couple of extra tailpipes personally i think the money could be spent on other things(to do with the supe) Unless youve got money to burn(so to speak) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
