this is mock up completely . just trying to do something a little different.

I think they look good. Reminds me of the '70-'72 Corvette. If you get it figured out, could you post updated pics. I have been looking for ideas besides the 'ol plain round dual exhaust. The other was the dual pipes coming out the middle, but for me that puts it too close to the fuel system...BOOM !

yeah when i get it all figured out i will show you . I still am not sure what it might do to the paint and bodywork required to make it perfect . the heat on the tip bothers me a little . I might not be able to make it a real nice tight fit .

i wonder if some sort of powdercoating will hold up , the ring brother mustang had something like this , I need to call mike and discuss it with him .

I hope to do some sort of fabriacted box tip on the front lower valance for brake coolers also . I will show you all soon .

I am open to all comments , good or bad . thanks

hey i think it looks killer, nice one of the nicest exhaust outlets so far, i think it would look cleaner with out the reverse lights what you think?

Datsbad · #5 02-11-2006, 11:51 AM

I agree on the reverse light deal . But i just cant bring my self to elimnate them on an Original RS car , also I will hopefully have some new jewelry for out back to dress it up

Foose's car has round pipes and those queer little round reverse lights they use on every car they put together it seems like , I wanted to retain some factory stlying cues with this . Ya know custom but not totally !

IMO i would radius the outside to match the flow of the lower QP and round the corners a bit.................... but i really like the idea

Sparky -
Yeah, I guess that's possible, I just don't want too much heat by the fuel tank sump outlets. I will have enough trouble with fuel heating just by the fuel pumps themselves. But it would look very cool !

Damn nice! i love it.

what we are doing on the camaro we are building right now.
if you imagine a 20" wide opening just below the bumper that widens out to about 30" at the bottom of the valance with a slightly rounded profile and a tip that follows the outer edge contour and is about 4" wide at the top and vertical on the inside edge with the license plate mounted between the 2 tips
I can post some pics of the opening on monday but here is a rough drawing of the idea

cant wait to see them . I would have loved to do this but did not want to fight with fuel tank issues.

what tank are you guys running?
