So I was laying in bed about to go to sleep when the idea hit me. I was thinking that if you keep the lines over the 'vents' on 1st gen s.skirts but behind it you cut an opening. Through the opening you'd have the exhaust coming through it. Basically if you looked into the vent in the side skirt, you'd see the exhaust. I was thinking about putting a muffler with a dual outlet in place of the cat converter and running just 3in piping to the side skirts.
First off, I haven't done any research or even looked under the car so is this even possible?
Second, what do you guys think? In my head it seems pretty bad ass.
I hope I explained that well enough, and remember guys it's only an idea I thought of before passing out.
Doesn't seem like a bad idea, it's just plastic and heat don't mix well together. If you don'tt have to worry about melting your side skirts, I'd say go for it.

Not too much room under there you would probably have to use oval shaped pipe. Di93es was going to do something similar but not through the sideskirt just regular side exhaust. Good luck if you do decide to go through with it.
It looks cool, didn't some Viper have it? It just seems kind of stupid though, because whenever someone wants to get in the car after the engine's been turned on, you get exhaust sprayed at you first..
ive seen 2 or 3 3Ss with side exit exhaust. it was kinda cool but i dont think you could do it to the sideskirts opening, i think theres alot in the way

Not quite. Viper's had/have a true side exhaust system that exits on the rear part of the rocker panel. The key difference being that the exhaust dumps from the manifolds and runs along the rocker panel, heating up the rocker panel to about the ambient temps on the planet mercury. You could always point out the newb Viper owners by the burn marks on the back of their legs.

Do you think it would straight up melt? as in like melt off completely?
I was thinking it would blacken it alittle(ok a lot) and maybe wrinkle it a little bit. If it did that I wouldn't even care tbh, the badassery of having that work would overcome that slight negative.
O and about getting hit with exhaust if the car is on, I rarely if ever get out while the car is on.
That's hilarious OwnGTP. Redhot, have you ever watched plastic burn? If you were to make an hour-long trip somewhere, you're plastic all around that area would become completely warped and look terrible IMO. It wouldn't just blacken and wrinkle a little bit I don't think. + the smell of burning plastic makes Baby Jesus cry.

You have any pics? I was considering doing a side exit but the underside of our cars makes it nearly impossible without scraping the ground on every little bump.
