Re: has any1 ever seen side pipes on a 4th gen?

I haven't seen any but I've been thinking about the same thing since I got my Z. I'm tired of the old dual pipes out the back. I kinda like these

The thing that worries me is the size of the pipe inlet/outlet and the heat coming off of them. I'd hate to get out of the car and burn my leg on them. I might get used to them being there but I know my kids would get burnt left and right.

I don't run sidepipes, but I do run a side-exit exhaust; custom true-duals.

The only real issue is road clearance, I'm at the stock height and I do catch things with the exhaust, mufflers, headers, and tips. On my firebird with the tips that I have I actually love the way it looks. I'll try to take some pictures soon before I put the car away.

You could get headers, get a summit x pipe and some mufflers. And just have the tip welded out to go out the side.

Once you get burnt once on a side pipe you will never do it again,

For those side pipes, would you just get a piece of exhaust made from the headers to it on each side?

You are gonna want an x-pipe first. It gives you more torque then 2 seperate pipes and also makes the sound a lot better. If you dont have an x pipe, it will sound very choppy.

I remember seeing them on a black Camaro on here somewhere. They look a bit tacky without a ground kit.
If you do do this, get some pics.

Just get boom tubes that's what the sonoco camaro has. For me it's between these, cme, and what I have now.

Re: has any1 ever seen side pipes on a 4th gen?

I know a few guys that are doing side exit exhausts on their Camaros, should be interesting when they're done. I know one is molding it into his side panel gfx, but the other I'm not sure.
