Side exhaust 95 SVT

[Teak]

I am wanting to put a side exhaust system on my car. It already has factory headers and such, but I want to replace everything. Any ideas would be great.

Ditch the factory headers and get a set of long tube. X or H-pipe your choice. Side exhuast there is the SVO with the side skirts, Steeda, Magnaflow, Spintech. There all good it's your choice

Side exhuast looks nice, but I've yet to hear a system that sounds really good with side exhaust, and the system will rob some power, just as an FYI.

I totally agree, they looks sweet but they all have a lot of back pressure popping noise. Listen to a S/C Rousch and you'll understand the sound

I would go with shorty headers not long tubes. A NA car doesn't like long tubes all that well. A blown car tend to like long tubes. I would go with an x-pipe with dynomax racing bullets turned out the side. Gut 2 of your cats and leave 2. That will help with the popping noise. Since your car is a 4 valve motor it wont pop as much as a 2 valve GT. trust me. I had my exhaust running sraight out the back with the same setup and dynoed at 401rwhp and 381rwtq.(also a denscharger cold air kit) then I had my buddy at the muffler shop run the pipes out the side of the car with 2 3" tips on both sides and dynoed at 417rwhp and 386rwtq. Most people think that the side exhaust will rob you power and it will feel that way but you will make the power at a higher RPM. with the side exhaust straigh out the back I could scratch 3rd gear and with the exhaust out the side I could barely scratch second but the car would get up faster and I had to change gears a lot quicker. I attached a pic so you can see what it looked like. It rained that day so don't mind the dirty car.

Well if the car he wants exhuast 4 is same as car he as listed its which is 95 Cobra your 2v/4v theory doesnt matter cause he doesnt have a mod motor. Also saying that a N/A car doesnt like long tubes I have to totally disagree with.

I love it when the exhaust pipes come out to the side like that. That is sweet Slip.

Basically you guys are saying that side exhaust would rob power and not sound the greatest....maybe it is a bad idea?

I've been searching around the web for side exit exhaust systems, and finding many possibilities. Right now I am searching for covers for the pipes so it looks plush with everything else. http://www.abcexclusive.com/bodykits.htm#abc800 Here is one that I found, but most of the side exit systems come out through 2 pipes. I dont know if they will fit this or not. Anybody know other places that offer such pieces? Or maybe an side exit exhaust that would fit this?
