M20 turbo exhaust, side exit?

[Regnar75]

the oval bends definitely seem like a much better idea, my exhaust touches the ground when pulling out of steep driveways but other than that it really doesnt scrape much.

this is also 2.5 inch on my m20 turbo. its loud but inside the car its not bad at all. idle isn't too loud either, just when you really get on it, and thats what i want anyway.

though I am looking at options to build a full exhaust with a muffler. just trying to get sound clips of with a small resonator, or not, etc



EDIT: in my search for ^exhaust clips for turbos, i ended up bumping a 3 year old thread. my bad

Any sound clips of that side exit Joolz?

Motor is not running yet. Made sure i had oil pressire today and no leaks. All is good , just waiting for my ECU programmer to come over and fire it up.

ocgrinder has an electric bypass to oval mandrel tubing that cuts out to the side. Pretty bad ass setup

This is genius. Can you have that on a turbo for when you want it to spool super quick, and close it when you want it to be quiet?

Pics do not work.

I have a floor pan that I patched, but am going to redo. Then I got the brilliant idea to encorporate a possible side exit while I am already welding there.. We will see how it works. I am a bodywork beginner so it wont be anything like that above but should atleast be functionable.

Here is my side exit but i have no factory fuel tank. I have a 40L foam filled fuel cell in the spare wheel well.

We recently installed an electric cut-out for Kyle, which sounds awesome when open!

Anyway, sorry for the terrible cell phone pics, Polak will be updating with proper pictures soon!

My favorite setup is right through the hood like Carlos' race car (wouldn't recommend for street haha) -

Do it!

Sexy, no doubt about it.

That's exactly what I was thinking!

Pretty sure it's going to be loud regardless lol.
Why not do a rear side exit, that way you can at least add a muffler?

[Kozworth]

I was thinking right before the pass rear wheel. That way if it is super loud at least it won't be on my side.

I'm for once praying I have rust in that area to give me the excuse to cut it out and fab up this side exit. I just think it would look better then an "assless" back end with a 3 inch tip and muffler just hanging there.
