yea you can use anx w/ the side exit. the only things thatarereally differnt w/ a side exit are the mufflers and tailpipes. the mufflers have to be same side in/out and obviously the tailpipes go out the side instead of the back.

side exhaust lower your vehicle's clearance a lot if you don't make cut outs for the exits in the side skirts.

also you will not be able to use SF connectors with side-exit...i had planned to do the Spintech catted-x and dual side exit kit...but SF connectors were more important to me so i went with turndowns in front of the stock bumper...they are completely hidden though...

but yea side exit sounds a LOT better on our cars WITH the x-pipe...without it sounds wierd and crappy...WITH it though it sounds like a G35!

You can get the Roush side skirts. They have the cut out for the exhaust.

roush or cdc (classic design concpets). they sell the whole kit that comes w/ front and rear valences that help keep the body lines flowing.
