Thinking of doing a custom c5 side exhaust =)
Sooooooo.... I dont know how many of you are familiar with supervette conversions but they do some wicked nasty stuff to C6 vettes. I like the side exhaust they do but they only offer it for the C6 so seeing I paint at a body shop and have a really good body guy/friend that works with me i am thinking of taking on coming up with a side exhaust for my c5 like they do on the c6 vettes. thoughts? ideas?

That would be an interesting project... Exiting where the Z06 Brake Ducts would be?? (Edit Or near there obviously... )
SuperVettes have some insanely awesome cars!

Wondering if you saw the one in the previous month's issue of Corvette Magazine. That was on a C6 and looked good but if I were to do it on a C5, I would want to emmulate the ones on C3's that had the four pipes intertwining and flowing into the side pipe. Might be tough from a ground clearance aspect, but if you could pull it off, it would be EPIC!!!!!!!
By the way, the ones you showed in the pics look great!!

I am unsure .... as of now i am thinking that the rocker would be remade to hold the pipe. I mean if you buy a sts tt kit it uses the rocker to run the piping through it so thats where i am at at the moment

I've seen some drag race C5 vettes over at ECS with a single exhaust pipe on each side leaving the car at the back end of the FRONT 1/4 panel behind the front tire. I think thats pretty unique and bad ***.
