318is side exhaust fab idea

[lostbeachbum]

I know this isn't the side exhaust you were talking about but if you had a turbo, you could do something similar to what we did to our car.

Check with your emissions people, in Colo. you cant have side pipes unless they were stock or live in a county without emissions.

lol the only way i could see this working is if you straight piped it. No cat no res no nothing.

Theres no way its gonna fit otherwise.

I actually have a dual in/out Magnaflow in mine. I am planning on rebuilding it to add a pair of resonators.

erick325i.... I am in love with your car.

haha.... I was thinking side exhaust in place of my rust.... but It would be too much work. But a metal plate right before my fender might look alright. Not going for it though. Only if I had it done right.

Thanks, but don't try to do a side exhaust as a way of cheeping out on rust repair.
Besides, even if you tried to build a tunnel for your exhaust to exit right in front of the wheel where your rust is, your gas tank is in the way. That's why if you look at mine, it's not all the way in the back of the sideskirt.

That's kind of cool for a track car. I've seen a setup similar to that, but exit through the fender rather than the hood (non-e30).
