Surely not if you sleeve the hole and weld up the ends

Surely cutting a huge hole in the sill is comprising its structural integrity and asking for a MOT failure?

I would cut a hole and then get a seamless tube same diameter as the hole then weld that in. Then put the exhaust through that.

Can't see that really affecting structural integrity, but if you do maybe you can explain why.

I don't honestly know if it would or wouldn't.

Along with what happens if a passer by burns a leg etc on it are all things to be considered.

If you think about it, then in lots of ways it is dangerous

Sorry but how is a exhaust coming out the sill (flush with sill) or rear panel any different to a aftermarket exhaust coming out the rear bumper?

Surely if your that close to get burnt then the risk of getting burnt is the same?

Think about it, a rear exit is around the back of the car, side exit will have people on pavements walking past it.

Are you being serious? So a side exit exhausted car will burn pedestrians walking on a pavement as it drives past?
Are you talking about fumes and hot gasses?

Not whilst driving, think about it parked up :smiley:

Park the car so exhaust is road side. Solution to everything 

Also if in a car park the risk of getting burnt is no different from the exhaust exiting the rear.

Your more likely to get burnt from a rear exiting exhaust in a car park because you get walkways at the end of bays.

Unless your refering to people touching the hot manifold when parked up how the hell can you get burned

Exhaust sticking out the back must be dangerous when i park at tesco and people walk behind me  :whistle:

Still daft though  :grin:
