side exit exhaust

has anyone seen/done a side exit exhaust on a vr4?or any 3000gt? unless there is some kind of unforeseen complications, i dont see why noone does this. it would be WAY less expensive than some of the pre-made cat back kits.could you not just have a y shaped pipe made to fit the cat, then run piping out the side in front of the wheels?

u can, i dont think there r any problems, but the rear bumpers have the slots for the tips to go through an personally i wouldnt leave those open. also it might be wise considering how low the car is, to get a sideskirt that has the holes cut out, ive seen a kit smewhere where they did that and the rear bumper was even at the bottom, it actually looked good but not my taste unless it muscle but hey go for it

Wont work with a side skirt cut out.

Wont work period because of clearances and the way the law is written the exhaust cannot exit under the passenger compartment.

yea i saw that car was in japan

is that in all 50 states? what about hawaii?

In all 50 states the exhaust must exit behind the passenger compartment.

When you see Vettes with side exit exhaust its legal because the Vette is a 2 seater and the exhaust is behind the passenger compartment.

bummer. what about mufflers? is it illegal to go muffler-less (maybe just a resonator)?

DEFINITELY illegal to run no mufflers.

what about just a resonator?>

A resonator is not a muffler.

so still illegal. dam. BTW stealthy how did you do your EGR delete? is there a walkthrough

Buy some block off plates from one of the 3s vendors and its basically as simple as putting the plates where they match up with on a VR4.

If you have a 91-93 you wont have any other issues.
If you have a 94 or 95 you will have to wire in a resistor to prevent a check engine light.
If you have a 96+ well, you're screwed.

perfect. i got a 91. do you still pass emissions?

Actualy stealthee.. i have a 96 and i did an egr delete with no MIL's.

You've been lucky

What about Roush Mustangs? Don't they have 2+2 and side exit?

huh. i had never heard of those before, but ur right morphius. they even sell a kit for it.

yes roush mustang are side exits. in some states it's illegal to have pipes in any other position than factory. the law also states that the pipes cannot be exposed other than the tips, thus the reason the viper's are now covered

as for no mufflers...the srt-4 neon didn't have them from factory, they set up the resonator in a certain way to lower the sound but also provide for an unique sound to the exhaust. however, that's the only car i can think of like that.

and if you live in Cali, from what i know, they're very anal about emissions so playing with something on the exhaust side of you car would probably not work for inspection.

thanks all for the help! i guess, likw many other things, this will have to wait till i say goodbye to california. i hate it!
