Side Exit Exhaust
« on: 01 January 2013, 16:00 »
Has anyone got a side exit exhaust but coming out of the body work, i was watching More than a drive and there was a purple/blue mk3 golf on there with the exhaust coming out of the side panel by the rear rear, this is what im after.

Its not a problem to do as i can make the exhaust my self, my only problem is it going to be legal.

As long as it does not stick out from body work more than 2" then it's legal body work includes wing mirrors etc...

Whats the best exhaust for the 8v i was thinking of either scorpion or a jetex system then modding it so it comes out of the body work.

Would be a lot of work to make it come out of the bodywork. On both the exhaust and the car! And I'm not sure it would look right. Just my opinion

This.

It's have to run either under the car, then up through the floor and back outside through the rear panel or run from the manifold to the outside all through the inside. There's a reason that corolla has it there.

I think it will look good if done right and its a little different, i got the idea from watching More than a drive and there was a mk3 on there with the exhaust coming out.
