Side Exit Exhaust - Am I Crazy?

[SpeedRacerX]

The exhaust on my car is currently stock. I want something way more aggressive but with little drone IF possible.

I know all about the bolt-on systems out there although I will admit I haven't been around the GNs long enough to hear them all.

I also see that going up and over the rear axle seems to be a pain in creating a system.

I've heard a few videos of guys running side exhaust and I kind of like it. I don't mind be different but yet I don't want to be foolish.

I'm thinking my ideal setup could be 3" DP to a Test pipe with dump with a Y allowing for two pipes coming out of it, an SLP Loudmouth bullet resonator on each side, ending in nice low-profile 1.5" high but 4-5" wide tips out each side in front of the rear tire.

Any thoughts on this? Is this a bad idea?

Thx.

The Pypes system is hard to beat. Quiet but easy to install. A dump with an electric cutout combined with the Pypes system would give you the best of both worlds. There is not enough room after mufflers/resonators to turn back in front of the rear tires not to mention the ground clearance. And droning car is no fun after a while.

Droning car sucks..... That is for sure

Mark Shackleford (mrstage1) built a side exit in one of his cars, but I don't know how to tell you to get ahold of him and I don't have any detailed pics of it.

I've ad a couple cars with that setup and they all droned pretty bad. Looks amazing though and could probably be fine with the right muffler.

I custom made my own on the cheap because I wasn't sure about it. I love it though and will be doing a more permanent install this winter. Drone- for sure. Not a DD so don't care quite frankly. Sounds like an absolute beast.

Here's an old thread that has sounds and pics of a couple installs.

Any chance you can take and post a video with sound clip of yours?

Normally I'd jump at the chance but it is put away for the winter. Got close to 8" snow Friday night. I only run water and RMI instead of antifreeze so it's all drained for the winter too.
Let me just say though, when I say it sounds like a beast, it is just bad ass.
