I believe they are not illegal....!....Cobra kit cars etc.....
Don't forget though, if you're anticipating putting chassis connectors on, they will have to go underneath these.

I've have just been reading about this, good point.


I like the look of this




Now you might wonder why I ask for side exit....
I think you all know by now that I'm after something better than rear leafs Wink.... and most of the new rear suspenssion systems are tricky with rear exit exhaust.
Unless you go down the 100% custom hand made exhaust.... $$$


I thought about turn down pipes, but not sure about them. fumes, sound... etc.. (MOT, maybe?...)

Custom exhausts aren't necessarily expensive.
If you're doing a full 'head to tailpipe' system in stainless, then yes..........but you could just do mild steel from in front of the rear axle to the tailpipes. That won't be expensive.
You could even do it yourself with pre-bent pipes from Jetex (they do them in stainless now too!)

Turn down pipes that exit under the car are illegal, due to the fact fumes building up under the vehicle when staionary can enter the passenger compartment (although whether they're 'caught' at an MOT is a lottery!).

I 'believed' the law stated that the exhaust had to exit at the extremity of the vehicle at a position behind the rear-most passenger doors.....i.e. at the side or the rear....and then I checked.....

http://www.mclarenautomot...g?page=slr&&num=7

.....so basically, anywhere?!.....well, at least at the side must be legal. Wink

Its why your tailpipe must exit beyond or at the rear bumper [because of monoxide poisoning], but not protrude too far beyond.
But its always open to interpretation. [hopefully]  Grin

Also the exhaust is exiting before the rear seats so if you open your window on a warm day the passengers will get gassed out Smiley

Well I think you're more likely to gas-out people in their cars (if in traffic) rather than your own passengers, the exhaust gasses from my SBF are usually pushed out at quite a rate of knotts!! Not to mention the unsuspecting drivers of other cars getting spattered on by the little bit of moisture and black-soot from a slightly rich mixture when you blip the throttle, just because... Grin

When you're moving forwards the exhaust gasses will be left behind (for the want of a better description) relative to airflow around and over the car, so I doubt you'll have any problems with fumes entering the cabin (unless crawling along in a restricted space, like a garage maybe).

The downside I can see is the noise, not because side-pipes don't sound nice, but because the constant droning would get old very quickly if you use the car on the street. For a weekend bit of fun and a few miles now and then it'd be fantastic. Do a 50 mile motorway journey and you'd be wishing you'd fitted rear-exit tailpipes probably... Great for racers and weekend toys, not great for practical street cars IMHO. But who wants practical? We've all bought classic Mustangs...!!!   Wink Grin

For what it is worth l inherited side exit exhaust system on a Mustang l purchased and l disliked them. The noise was to loud and l was put off from starting the Mustang early mornings or late at night in fear of getting an Asbo. Also the note they make in my opinion is not that great. I would always go for Flowmasters which give you a stonkin sound but you can creep away from the house in the early house without waking the whole street.

I already have a great sound


Here's the issue:
I will probably get the G-bar from TCP early next year, and from what I read, the GT style exhaust might not fit.
I have to do more research on that one....  Undecided
Hence looking for a side exit exhaust, I'm not removing my mufflers.

The kit I saw cost around $50, it's not that expensive Wink so in case it doesn't work.... I'll have to get an exhaust shop to
make something up....

You can always run the exhaust under the rear axle.
