Re: How Do You Avoid Side Pipe Burns? (gdh)
Sound hollow and wimpy? Well that's the first time I've ever heard that about sidepipes. Mine sounds like a race car.
But rear exit exhaust would probably make better power if done right. You could add an X-pipe crossover, make it the ideal size for max torque, and with a pair of Flowmasters, would sound extremely good. They won't have the visual impact of side exhausts, but would be a bit more user friendly.
I thought about rear exhaust, but the cost for a custom mandrel-bent set would have exceeded the cost of the better-looking sidepipes.
I reserve the right to change my mind down the road, but for now, I like the side pipes. Scraping the burned skin off my sidepipe was gross though.

After burning the leg of a really hot girl I was taking home, I decided it was time for the standard undercar treatment, less liability, more love!

I hope the sidepipes are alright? no damages, scratches, or marks? :D
