Side exhaust

I've done a search and nothing's come up. While having some tyres fitted I was looking at a mota that had such low profile tyres that I almost couldn't see the point of them, rubber bands on rims I thought and then I spotted it had a side exhaust and now I have the bug to go for a side exhaust. Is it pie in the sky??

Depends where along the side you want it and if you want it silenced, but anything is possible!

Thrush Side Pipes - now that takes me back. Someone fitted one on a Vit not that long ago:

You know you want to:

Actually, I wasn't thinking side pipes. I was thinking having the exhaust coming out of the side but I am guessing it isn't feasible.

To a point anything is possible, you could use a short motorbike end can as the back box then youve just gotta get the pipe bent and routed to where you want it to exit, my mate got a full custom exhaust made from a company in birmingham somewhere I believe, we turned up he told them what he wanted they made it there and then fitted it then we drove home,was a custom car garage full of skylines scoobys etc

I'd love it but it can only be a future project. Problem is I want quiet with it and that makes the situation more awkward.

Most custom exhaust manufactuers can make it as loud or as quiet as you want, it just comes down to baffels silencers etc.ill try find out the name of the garage off my mate but it was a few years ago so he might not remember.they made the back box and everything to his spec including it being as loud as possible (it was fu#$*@g loud).

id jack it up and see if theres a reasonable and straightforward route to take first, infront of the rear wheel would look pretty good

I love the idea but having looked underneath not sure its possible for twin exits. They would have to branch after the transfer box and then exit in front of where the radius arms attach. Not a lot of room for the twin cherry bomb silencers unless the pipe work doubled back on itself. Main problem is that whatever the diameter of the outlet pipe it would all be below the chassis rail and therefore kill ground clearance. Pipe could be oval at this point I guess. A single outlet on the drivers side would be very possible.

Ground clearance was something I was concerned about.
Back in the ***ties I had a side exhaust on a mota and got pulled by the cops about it. He had obviously nothing better to do that day.
I am annoyed with myself that I didn't recognise the car that set me off on this although it is totally irrelevant.

These are the people you want for custom exhausts:

Made a note of it, thanks.
