side skirt exit exhuast effects? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

slideways2004 · 11-26-2007, 07:08 PM

i tried searching but didn't come up with anything. i want to build a super short exhuast that exit out the drivers side side skirt. right after the front wheel and thru the side skirt (uras) what are the effects this short exhaust will have on my engine? will it feel like a turd b/c of no back pressure and short piping? will it spool up faster?

p.s. engine is s14 sr/t28. piping would be 3"

**ThatGuy** · 11-26-2007, 07:09 PM

You plan to run 3" piping under your frame rails?

slideways2004 · 11-26-2007, 07:11 PM

EDit:

would you want backpressure for

atutt · 11-26-2007, 07:50 PM

Are you sure you searched?

Ch'mon... I found this in about a minute and a half...
Sorry. The picture is much larger but photobucket resizes it to this size

*!Zar!* · 11-26-2007, 07:53 PM

How hard is it to cut a fucking hole in your sideskirt and mount a piece of metal?

Why don't you just get straight pipe.

Stop trying to be different.

exactly, its easy as fuck. buy one pre bent pipe. weld to flage. bolt up. cut side skirt, make metal plate and rivet. done! i'm just asking how will my turbo spool be affected? faster? slower? same? i'm not asking how to make it

300hp owen · 11-26-2007, 08:06 PM

dual 2" or 2.25" or even 2.5" would fit nicely under the frame and give you plenty of clearance to lower the car a lot and not bottom out.

side exit flames FTW!
stupid thread FTL!

slideways14 · 11-26-2007, 08:07 PM

the only people i know who run their exhuast out the side are people who race there car at the track because it is crazy loud(borderline ignorant).... sounds cool though.
if you really wanna be cool......

do this

P.S it isnt so easy either.. look at your frame rails and think again. you need a professional to fab it up

EJ253 · 11-26-2007, 08:09 PM

if your serious. oval piping.
like my downpipe.

this thread is retarded
you wont notice a difference.
just straight pipe it out the back

smelly240 · 11-26-2007, 08:11 PM

i dont think a 2 inch will fit under my frame rail.... i looked at doing this before just cause it looks cool. Turned out i didnt really wanna cut my car up that much.

koukimonster139 · 11-26-2007, 08:13 PM

not under the sub frame

through the interior

out the sail panel

*!Zar!* · 11-26-2007, 08:20 PM

Just cut the frame rail where it's in your way. Then send it out the side.

More hassle than what it's worth.

Front to back is easiest.

EJ253 · 11-26-2007, 08:31 PM

if you really want function come off the turbine,
angle up about 75*
straight for about a foot (thru the hood),
end.

614duece40 · 11-26-2007, 08:33 PM

just stick with a front to back exhaust, less work, dosen't look as cool as side exits haha.

locodrftr · 11-26-2007, 08:49 PM

I did a side exit but it was right b4 the driver side rear wheel.....clearance was ok seeing as how i wasn't slamed on the ground....but if i were to do it again i would use the oval tubing...but that costs a arm and a leg...my friend now uses the side exit i made on his coupe, his car is much lower and that thing scraped everywhere...maybe he'll post a pic and comment...ohhh and i didn't just run straight pipe i used a apexi resonator so it wouldn't be so loud

98koukile · 11-26-2007, 09:02 PM

Straight out the fender or angle it down right at the frame rail and shoot it out the side

GabeS14 · 11-26-2007, 09:19 PM

Not sure why the flaming, this is something not really talked much about, interesting question!
I have thought about it a few times, thought about taking the side exit exhaust of some of the mustang models, that have the square tips and then weld to my down pipe,
but i would really prefer round pipes though.
so never went with it!
Do what locodrftr did, maybe use dual smaller pipes, should be fine,
then post pics!!!

undesiredshoe · 11-26-2007, 09:42 PM

Why dont you route the piping out of your steering wheel so you can smell your delicious sr20.

Full-Lock · 11-26-2007, 09:46 PM

besides
side pipe is played out on street cars anyway

ricers in civics, sentras, and neons all trying to be 'different'...so they get a sidepipe

done a million and one times

TheSquidd · 11-27-2007, 11:32 AM

I dont care about anything said here.

I just want to see flames coming out of the side of a car.

sideview_180sx · 11-27-2007, 12:02 PM

haha phil morrison hacking up apex'i GT-spec to do that look. squidd you know you want that for idiots on the 10 and 60 fwy.

jackjack · 11-27-2007, 12:03 PM

if you're really set on doing it, please spend some money and have it done right. a friend of mine did it at a local ghetto shop. horrible, looks like crap.

PoorMans180SX · 11-27-2007, 12:10 PM

^^Yup.

I always wanted dual 2" out the side just before my rear wheel. I'd probably notch it and do a little welding if I had to. With a resonator and/or a cat in it, it shouldn't be too brutal loud.

Maybe sometime.

To answer the OP's question, your turbo might spool a little sooner. That's why turbo drag cars run a pipe straight out the side of the front bumper. The best exhaust for a turbo is hardly any exhaust.

More than you know.

The logistics of routing that thing through my cabin right behind my seat would be too much for me though!
