Straight out the back means the whole pipe is visible from the side because the frame is lower than the body.
I have never liked the factory style Monte SS exhaust, seeing two feet of tailpipe running under the rear quarter panel IMO takes away from the rest of the car.

That's basically what made my mind up about trying the GN style exits.

Noisier than pipes under the bumper? Sure, but that makes me smile :) :)

All I can think about is some one coming up along side of you and you getting on it! Sounds like those new pipes will be fun.

That is why I made my side exit also. Hated the look of round rear exit pipes and purchased ovals that looked good were crazy priced. Then add the headache of going over my independent rear and side exit just made sense and I liked the look on my car. DSC00419.JPG

Yours turned out looking nice, good job. Sorry tool failed even a cheap *ss tool breaking still sucks.

I'm really a big fan of side exit exhausts I just don't know that they fit these cars, I looked at doing it on my GTO and making it part of the side skirt appearance wise but finally just settled for the easy route of grapefruit shooters out the back. I had also thought about changing my exhaust on the Monte but think I am sticking with the dumps on this because I would prefer to do the same style where it works into the skirt but think that would be just asking for trouble.

They look amazing! I'd love to see all the work you did with a complete pic of the exhaust with the car up on a hoist!

there are laws about having the tailpipe close to a door to prevent the possibility of the carbon monoxide entering the passenger compartment

Didn't get much accomplished lastnight but I did get the exhaust welded up and everything painted. All thats left is the install which will probably be next week with my work schedule. Im anxious to get it done because the car hasn't even run this year yet.
