Houman pipes like that should be illegal, what if you parked somewhere and a little kid walked by in shorts and bumped into your car and burnt there leg, infact they woulden't burn the leg it would stick to the pipe and someone would have to peel that kid off of your car. Man, that is not cool.

I burnt my leg a couple of times when i was a little feller (back in the 70's) on my dad's chevy van with side pipes, while getting in or out.. A little blister yes, but no, little kids dont stick to the pipes

I've seen a 3rd Gen. Camaro with a single sided sidepipe. Since our cars don't have true dual exhaust, he ran the pipe out the passenger side and used the stock square vacuum tip.

Looks good, but unfortunately, it would catch every speed bump and sharp incline/decline, you drove across.

That's doable - more side exit tips, than side pipes though.

I heard that its impossible to do because of the suspension of camaros...Saw an older 70's transam with them, looked badass, but it also had a 6.0L engine too....it was sweet
