Im getting a side exit exhaust made for my car, the problem is deciding on a tail pipe.
I had decided on a 11" wide by 3" high pipe but now Im unsure, really after other peoples opinions on this as I dont want to do it and turn "Chavtastic" overnight

 

id be more worried about squashing it on speed bumps!

 

cant it just be a "pipe"... with the greatest respect, does it have to look like a rather large letterbox ... no rolled edge though, not on a side exit IMO

 

This was what I meant and was worried about, so a what, 3 inch non rolled tip

 

I reckon it shoul come out at an angle, say like 45 degrees to body, but be cut parrallel to side of car so it will look slightly oval from a side view if you know what I men lol.... as above, Im not sure if 3 inch would be too big still... for the theme of a car such as yours, old skool... maybe 2.5 inch... but till you gaffer tape a bit of pipe in place.. it'll be difficult to say really??

 

i might have to have my exhaust like this for a while, just 2.5" inch stainless pipe maybe squashed to an oval shape so it doesn't scrape too much..

should do it tomorrow so i can post a pic when it's done if you like? no rolled edge.

 

Pic would be great

2.5 Inch it is then, 45 degree angle cut so it has a straight edge to the car

Anymore suggestions

 

don't go with me, 2.5" is all i have lol, so it'll have to do, and yup cut at an angle so it's flush up the side sort of thing.

i'll post a pic of my install tomorrow with a pic of the exhaust for you. I'm sure some people on here have side exits, probably out getting pi**ed jsut now though

 

Thanks guys

 

arnt side exhausts banned on uk cars
apart from kit cars like westfields

 

Nope as long as it exits from the drivers side

 

ah well that's me oot the windae then!

unless i have it oot the in front of the rear drivers side tyre?

 

exhausts have to evit from the o/s of the car due to pedestrian safety!

side exit pipes can be very very loud, i did away with mine due to excessive noise (and it sounded shyte!!!! )
pics can be seen on this link somewhere.......

some pix of side exit pipe and some of my fabricated 3.5in stainless pipe.
