Side exhaust?

i think a side exhaust(under the body) would be pretty cool, no more flatened tail pipes. i bet the paint looks pretty neat under that.

 

it is sweet, eyesore's hatch has 2 tips on either side, just in front of the rear tire...I'll see if I can find a pic from MW3...

 

about flattened tail pipes...think about it, and go look at the rockers...pretty scratched and dented eh??? if it's not, you're not trying. it's much more protected in the stock location!!!

 

here's one...

look how exposed they would be to...say a log...or rock!

I welded up a side dump exhaust for my brat, and it's solid! I am confident I can use it as sort of a driveshaft guard/rock slider. It's a 2 1/4" from the cat back, and has a cherry bomb muffler. It dumps where that wagon dumps, except I didn't put 6 feet of pipe on it. I was thinking about maybe a foot, with a flapper on it, going back at a 45 degree angle. It sounds WRXish, despite people telling me it sounds like a VW bug.

 

I'll see if I can get pics up here soon.

It will smash; exhaust pipe isnt for sliding on rocks under the weight of your vehicle. Cherry bombs arent super strong either; I've dented the crap out of them.

True, but I am not concerned, it cost me $30 to make....I can always run with no Y-pipe if I have to. lol But yeah it will get smashed up obviously if the weight of the car sits on it. But I've run over some high curbs, and it got "high centered" on the exhaust, but the car wasn't sitting on it, it was just kind of exhaust was pushing on the curb, and it slid over the curb (kind of a test) with just scraping it up (nothing too bad)...but if the weight of the car was pushing down on the exhaust, or slammed down on the curb, it would have been gone. So yes, you are right. But once the lift is on, it won't matter as much, but still could get hit.
