Default Side exit exhaust on a fox

Anyone with a fox have a side exit exhaust?? If so, do the subframe connectors bother the pipes that much? I'm thinking about putting a side exit exhaust on my car but I would think that the subframe connectors would push the exhaust too low. My car is already lowered 2 inches... so what ya'll think?- doable?

I think that you may be draggin' the pipes and going over speed bumps man precipitete a few hired hands to hop out of your car to lift it up over the humps....good luck if you can get it to work without riping the pipes off...a friend of mine had problems with his occassionally and he didn't have the car lowered.

subframes would make the pipes hang low. that would look terrible.

I don't like the look of side exhaust period...but the subframes will interfere with it way too much.

Yes. Side exhaust doesn't look good on these cars.
