Exhaust Exit through Body Panels

[MSSLGECKO]

As commonly seen on race cars where usually 2 ports are part of one flange that mounts up flush w/ the body and has the exhaust piped to it.

 

I am thinking that this would be a cool way to run an exhaust system in my Brat. If I can make a plate to fit, I will place it infront of the rear wheel in place of the side-step blank on driver's side.

 

What do you guys think? Does anyone know where I could source an actual one of these plates to use?

sounds like it would be sweet, i was thinking of doing something like that on my rx one day.

I have seen that on about a thousand pickups, mostly lowriders. Look in a Truckin or Mini-Truckin magazine for an ad with the kit to get an idea on how to make it work.

So, I cannot find anything what-so-ever online for this product. I guess that no one ever routes their exhaust using specifically designed tips/flanges mounted on the body.

 

If anyone has a good source for me, let me know. Right now I'm expecting to have to cut a piece of steel so that it fits in the hole cut a circle in it w/ a diameter that will match the exhaust piping.

 

Thanks for the input

That is how I would go about it. You could take the cover plate off the drivers side, use it for a template to cut out a piece of sheet steel, then form it to fit on the body, then drill four holes so it will bolt on place of the stock cover plate. Then cut the circle for the exhaust pipe, then weld in the pipe to the plate. Perhaps it would be best to weld in a flange on the backside of the plate so that you could unbolt the rest of the ehaust from it.
