home made side exhaust *VIDEO CLIPS*

since i bought my race bullets, i have been wanting to try a side exhaust set up. because the way the floor panals are, i have never been able to get a reg oval canister muffler closer to the midpipe. but the bullets can pretty much go right to the midpipe connection. all i would need is a 90* bend off the side. i just want to know how it may sound before i fabricate my pipes. i can imagine it would sound a little louder than normal dumped mufflers. i know others have tried and said it sounded like crap due to all the bends they had to do. but with the muffler outlet farther up, pipe bends will be minimal. comments?

anyone?

hmm.. idk but I say give it a shot and post pics!

I'd say it is going to be very loud. I've heard a 4.6 with cut offs at the bullet mufflers and it was loud, so brace yourself.

 

[deadlast]

i will do it this weekend. ill post pics and movie when completed

i have a "home made" exhaust on my explorer that goes into a 50 series flow master and then does one 90 degre bend and out, i cut the pipe on an angle and then put a 1.5 inch spacer in and used a press to make it more oblong shape (used spacer only for making sure both pipes had same bend, just for when your pressing the pipe), it worked very well and sounded deep.
that was on a v6

i had dumps on my car and it was WAy to loud for me

its gonna be really loud i think

i did this on my old 94. i bought a stock c5 vette catback, took the "over the axle" pieces, cut them off then grafted them together to make an x pipe, then hollowed the mufflers and rewelded them and made side exhaust in front of the rear wheels. sounded great, like nothing ive ever heard. when i totalled it i trashed the exhaust it was pretty haggard, beginner welding

Interesting to say the least..

I'd like to hear this exhaust setup too

I plan on putting one exhaust out the pass. side, but it'll be after a turbo and one HUGE 3" cat. converter, then just the pipe, all 3"

 

[deadlast]

good news! im starting the project tomorrow at around 1, so if i have all the parts ill be down at 3 or 4 hopefully. i think im going to hack apart the tailpipes and use that for tubing, and use some 3" slash cut tips i have, wish me luck!

i was with you till you said cat. wtf you thinkin, that will kill your turbo spoolup time. turbos hate backpressure.

here are the pics

i hacked up the tailpipes which had a PERFECT bend to them, so it fit like a glove. the sound is almost the same, but you obviously hear it alot more in the car, and from the side. it also grumbles and sounds echoey. sounds damn good

no sound clips yet, ill try to get them later. heres some extra piping we put on a friends civic

 

[SM0k3]

sweet, waiting for soundclips...

 

[95riosnake]

lookin good

the extra piping on the civic is hilarious...watch out though...if those import kids see that "sweet tip" on there, they'll be tryin to order more from you lol.

 

[deadlast]

holy crap, i think its starting to break in or something, damn its mean! sooo loud, yet a very nice tone, it sounds unbelievable. only thing i dont like is that you can hear it popping (i dont know how to explain it) when you downshift, or deaccelerate. i need to get ahold of something that takes vid clips, you guys will love it

 

[Blackened302]

cool, can't wait for the clips.

 

[SeventyMach1]

Wow ..... I have a new product in my line. I think I'll call it ...... um ...... THE WORM. I should make a killing.

Now, lets get some clips up of that Stang!!!
