Side Exhaust

[NickAlero2000]

Hey,
Anyone ever consider a side exhaust on thier Aleros?
Just kinda had one of those random...Gee, Wouldn't that be nice...thoughts.
Sound good/bad/makes no difference?
Drop some feedback for me...Thanks!!!

[shiny alero]

i have thought about it, with like a square tip at an angle.

[cavaliers60]

I believe Eh-nigma is working on side exhaust.

[Oldsnut]

He talked about it but I thought he said it was to hard with the Alero set up. I have seen it on the Saturday Night Special Intrigue and thought it was HOT!

I had it on an old El Camino, loved it and it is definitely different.

that would look kinda goofy i think.....but just my 2cents.

Not as bad as you think, just run it thru the side skirts. Have you seen the yellow Intrigue that I referred to?

[Spilner521]

It would be pretty loud.

[pimpalero2003]

i would be pretty loud?? hahahaha it maybe

yea.....i could see an ovel style coming out on the AAS kit............that would look bad ass, but without a kit............;)

Ha...I missed that. Fixed

i am thinking nascar tips thin and flat might work best but putting a muffler in to kep it quiet well that could be pretty hard with no room underneath there

Illegal.

Exhaust exit MUST go past the rear wheels

[jabartram]

Illegal.

nope, it must stick out the sides a certain amount past the edge of the car, at least in Texas it can.

[Redog]

PA, NJ and DE it must go past the rear wheels.

I thought is was a federal thing :blush:

[NickAlero2000]

In in NY, so its legal for me at least.
This is my muffler, paulyb I'm getting the AAS kit and when I put it on I was going to do the exhaust. The way my Exhaust runs, there is a 90 degree bend after the cat, at which point it is aimed directly out the drivers side b4 it bends to the back again. And the muffler pictured here is the tip you would see out the side, prolly slightly modded though

[cherrington17]

my bro said he can order these kinda kits (special order of course) from autozone.. and they wouldn't sell something that'd be illegal in that state... so i guess NY is safe.


i've thought about it, but only if i got a kit, and new rims. stock would look goofy.

[Oldsnut]

I never got stopped when I drove my El Camino in Illinois, and it wasn't real quiet.

Here is a picture of the Intrigue Saturday Night Special that I spoke about earlier.

Thats what I was thinking...unlike the muscle cars you wouldnt be able to step on mine...not that i wouldnt make enjoy a muscle car exhaust though
lol

[YALEROYNOT]

the exhaust has to exit the body rear of the passenger compartment. the only reason I know is I looked in to it when I did the side exhaust on my truck

[BlackJack]

might be able to pull that off on one side only, or maybe a matching fake tip on the passenger side, but the pipe would run right under the gas tank, and that's a no-no. I don't know about on your car, but on mine, it's a plastic tank.

I'm going to do it once I convert to a trunk-mounted fuel cell, triple pipes on each side.

What about the SLR McLaren? They let out just in back of the front wheel.

Many ford trucks (like the lightning and other short wheelbase 1/2 tons) had the exhaust in front of the rear wheel.

I've never gotten pulled over in my Beretta with the side exhaust either, and it used tot be louder than it is now.

Yes, but most of the laws state "behind the passenger compartment". (Lightning is a truck), and McLaren isn't a US make.

[Cliff8928]

the SLR McLaren is a Mercedes, and yes you can go out and buy one (paris hilton has one...). I've seen one in at the dealer for service.
