Default Side exits......

I am thinking of running my exhaust out the sides but I am not sure how it would look on my 91 lx, I would have pics of my car up but I have to order the cord to connect my camera to my computer so.... I was wondering if anyone has any pics that you could post to help me out... Also how would it sound with glasspacks on?? I'm trying to find a video to hear or just a picture to see what it would look like on a fox body.

I'm looking at doing side exits also, but I have a 95 GT and am looking for the SVO side pipes/skirts with the pipe hole cut out. If anyone has any they wanna get rid of let me know.

The exhaust comming out the sides, right in front of the rear tires isnt a bad idea to keep the tires a bit hot and to get burnt rubber away from your car but if you plan on putting the car on a lift, this could make for some problems.. My exhaust dumps under the middle of the car near the rear of the trans. I have turn-down spouts that point it down and out.... This also helps lower the sound level because it bounces of the ground and the under side of your car a few times before it exits..

i've seen some nice ones, but make sure they are legal in your state before you put them on, i know in MA you can get a ticket for them

Theres a orange fox up by me that has them exiting like the cobra r's. Its got the chrome tip that splits in 2 on both sides. Looks pretty good imho. I like the look of side exits but its a pain to do on foxes because of where the muffler are located.
