Hello,
I'm thinking about more interesting ways to mount the exhaust system, rather than having the conventional pipe to the rear cross member. I've seen a few stacks coming out of the wings and side exit exhausts and what not, but how about a wing mounted exhaust? I'm thinking, cut through my down pipe (it's a 2.5 N/A we're talking about here) and then heavy duty / stainless steel flexi pipe to the wing, where I will mount a silencer and then a short pipe off to the side so that it points to the nearside, but doesn't over hang the wing. I will paint the whole thing in black BBQ paint and mount it with a bracket that I can make.
I'm thinking something like the following, but with a more compact silencer and a shorter tail pipe that directs the exhaust gasses straight off the wing if you get the idea:

What do you think? I just fancy something a little different. Would it effect engine performance with less back pressure?Pictures of what I'm planning on would be great (if any one else is mad enough to have tried it) or pictures of other 'unconventional' exhausts would be great!
Cheers
