Hotrodpez Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 Well, the worst of the rust on my Z is centered around where the driver's side 'frame rail' terminates into the floor of the car under the seat, and it extends out to the rocker panel in front of the rear tire. In cutting out the rust, I looked under and saw that I could see the exhaust in the trans tunnel. And, so, I got this idea: Glasspack in trans tunnel, alongside trans. Instead of repairing floor pan to stock, fab up a small 'tunnel' and turn the exhaust 90 deg to come out in front of the rear tire in the rocker panel. Any reason why this would be a bad idea?

MJLamberson Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 Viper status. I personaly like the idea, looks and sounds cool if you do it right, I would imagine you might feel the heat from it a bit more if the car was sitting in traffic or something.

deja Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 Anybody that ever run side pipes will tell you the exhaust exiting that close to the door is a PITA sitting still with the windows down. All that exhaust and heat rools right in the window. I did that on my '70 AMX but took them off after only a month. Looks cool, sounds cool, but its tough to live with if you plan on driving in city traffic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony D Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 Then again, this is another advantage to guys with RHD cars...the exhaust exiting the side of the car directly offends the passenger, leaving the drive unaffected! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
