a little while ago i bought a perform exh' but was previously hooked on the idea of a side exit jobbie. the reason i aint got one now is cos lots of people told me its not legal to blow the exhaust fumes into pedestrians and traffic. (hence the tailpipe).
is this true?
i cant help thinkin im gonna be kickin myself as ive seen a few cars around now with such types of exhaust, even comin outa the bumper!
go on, make me kick myself...........

 

er....the maclaren slr has a side exit as standard so must be legal!!!kick away you fool!

 

I have one. Comes out the drivers side

 

as stated they are perfectly legal aslong as they meet the legal requirements

 

SHIT... ive wasted money... and horses... aaaaaaaaaahhh

 

rab... i got one of those, that looks nice. done well

 

I saw a nice S1 with one back in 1994. Besides from being a bit different there's less back pressure due to being shorter, less weight too but how you package a silencer in there is anyones guess.

 

sod the silencer man, if the tubes the right size the airflow will be good for the engine. the noise dont matter in my ears. i mean eyes

 

Mine has a side exit coming from passenger side (wait till i blow a turbo with pedestrians on the path) , ive been told that with a turbo the quicker you get the gasses out but N/A is a diferent kettle of fish

 

With a turbo, minimal back pressure is good. Need a bit or it'll eat the oil seals on the turbo.

N/A will need more back pressure or you'll lose power.

My silencer is very small, and is part of the tailpipe. And is you say now, that noise doesn't matter, you won't later

Mine is now very much off the road due to a small ban But when I get back on the road I'm buying a very quiet honda or something, cos a loud ford just ain't cutting it

 

Side exit exhaust + flamer kit + pensioners =

maybe add some ALS too if you really want to scare the shit out of them

 

Nice one you cock.

 

Had a stainless side exit ages ago from a R5 turbo, would have fitted almost straight on. Binned it tho as couldn't be bother with the hassle it would have caused

 

bit lound for a road car.

 

SORRY YOU'LL HAVE TO SPEAK UP M8, I CAN'T HEAR YOU.........

 

orse its legal, what you think most kitcars have

great flamethrower when there are peoplr you dont like walking up the pavment 1st gear.....7000rpm and pop into 2nd quick! WHOOOOOOOOOF

 

my side exit from the out side!



and from the inside

I really want to go side exit on my XR turbo soon, i heard side exists are only legal when the originally the car had one e.g Cobra/Caterham etc... If it didnt leave the factory like that then its not allowed. Could be wrong though

Any other pics of your car Puddy ? its fooking gorgeous! I remember back in the day that being on the cover of Street Machine when i used to read it.

 

cheers mate ,should be back out soon!

never had any probs before about the side exit,It did LIGHT UP the centre

reservation on the over run though

Its spelt McLaren

Original plans didnt have them thou, bit of useless info for u
