Xnke Posted July 29, 2007 Share Posted July 29, 2007 After reading a LOT on the elimination of the exhaust fumes from the Z, I'm going to try something else. I want to move the exhaust, as well as seal up all the holes. Instead of running the exhaust straight out the back, has anyone here run the exhaust out the side, just behind the drivers rear wheel? I'm looking for a "hidden" type system, but at the same time I don't want a hot exhaust pipe ruining my paint. Does anyone here have any pictures of their side-exit exhaust systems?

bobbyc Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 i ran it out the side fender....no difference in smell....the tip did pick up a lot of road grime and burned itself on and made it ugly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hughdogz Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 Also, you may lose your hearing eventually. Especially if you drive next the the barrier in the passing lane. This was my friend's experience with that setup on a 510. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacecase70 Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 use an angle tip and put it out to the side from the stock location like a jaguar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustinOlson Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 I'm planning on dumping the exhaust just in front of the passenger side rear tire. I'm not sure that it will really help all that much with smell, but its worth a shot. I'm mainly doing it to simplify exhaust layout on my the Toyota turbo engine.

spacecase70 Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 that is a great idea or just use a side pipe either way it should do the job for you BTW are you still going to send me your old tail pipe tip? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armand Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 How far does your current exhaust tip stick out from the body in the stock location? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShaggyZ Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 On my Merkur, I went out the side but angled it down toward the ground at about 45° down. It's not bad with a 3" exhaust (Ultraflo and a cat) when I go by walls and I like being able to look out my side-view mirror and see the exhaust coming out (not much to see, hopefully). I also like seeing what it blows onto the street when it's idling (rich exhaust) and blowing leaves or dirt to the side of the road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest powerman Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 I also like seeing what it blows onto the street when it's idling (rich exhaust) and blowing leaves or dirt to the side of the road. If you drive fast enough it does this anyways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
