Malyc Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 Hey everyone, I was just wondering if any of you had done exhaust outlets just before the rear wheels, and if so, what kind of work is required to make it look good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cny first gen 71 Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 Im not a fan of them myself, they always seem to be hanging to low and depending what mufflers you use may hang way to low because of where you have to put them. Your better off putting the mufflers where they belong and dumping them behind the rear wheels or straight out the back. Just a thought from an old muffler shop guy. I spent a good portion of my carrier working and managing a couple different muffler and brake shops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malyc Posted September 6, 2013 Author Share Posted September 6, 2013 Okay, thanks. Gonna have to redo the exhaust anyway, since it's a bit rotten in a few places, so I thought I'd get some opinions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wallaby Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 That's what I was thinking Andreas...sidepipes. The problem with the "ahead of the tire" exit is there is a lower control arm in the way there and it needs enough room to pivot downward even further. Running a pipe under there without interference makes the pipe exit look wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malyc Posted September 7, 2013 Author Share Posted September 7, 2013 Hmm... true. Would probably work if I ran it along the side of the car similar to this Stingray, which actually looks pretty good... Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dans '70 Z20 Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 I think the guy building the Orange Monte with black stripes down the side has side exhaust. Can't remember his screen name but if I find thread I will attach here. Â Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wallaby Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 Those sidepipes on the Corvette are great. A major pain to install, and they burn your leg every time you open the door. I love 'em. I've often wondered if a Corvette set could be modified to fit the Monte, but you'd have to saw off the header primary tubes under the car, and lengthen the exhaust tube on the outside so it reaches to the rear tire...Corvette is like 18 inches different in wheelbase. So it's a $1,000 gamble, and then you have to cut them up and rechrome them. Ouch. Hooker used to make a "universal" sidepipe kit that looks the same from the outside, but only a single primary tube is hooked up, so they would work ok with shorty headers or stock manifolds. They also came in different lengths...maybe you remember them being popular on vans. The only problem is that I hear they are very restrictive to exhaust flow (either type) and knock nearly 100hp (!) from your dyno numbers, and the universal type has been discontinued. Â But they sound and look great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malyc Posted September 8, 2013 Author Share Posted September 8, 2013 He does have a pretty good setup, and that's the look I wanted to have. Hopefully I see him around so I can pester him how he did it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
footballubet Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 I haven't seen him around here very much lately. I see him on Facebook once in a while. If you have an account you may get him there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cny first gen 71 Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 Brad dont get in here to often hes on face book once in a while. I looked at the pictures I took of his and mine last year but not a great pic of exhaust but it does exit in front of rear wheel without any problems as far as I know. If I talk to him i'll tell him to check in more often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 How is the noise in the car with that setup? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cudax Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 I remember the AAR Cudas used a muffler with the inlet and outlet on the same front side of the muffler. This allowed the outlet pipe to bend back and exit in front of the rear tire. Not sure if a muffler of this design would work on our cars but it might be worth the research.

Redrock Kustoms Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 I've got duel 2.5 inch exhaust. Each side exits the side of the car just before the rear wheels. I have the 2.5 split into staggered 3" chrome tips. I'll get a pic up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raceking46 Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 I don't have any carpet or door panels on the car yet so it is a bit noisy but I'm sure with dynamat and carpet etc. it wouldn't be too bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
