Exhaust High up

[hmmmmm]

Ive got something playing in my head.. Did anyone ever put the exhaust through the boot and out throught the rear light panel (on a sw20)? Looking something like this:

Im also looking in to a scuderia type defuser on the rear, anyone know of any sw20's driving around with a similar setup?

Wasn't there an american v8 that had the pipes coming through the boot between the number plate and light units, possibley a mk1......

All exhausts are high up to you ...

I do like that Fezza though - looks awesome. Shame Woods is so far ahead on mine :(

It would be really cool to get them in the center panel and get a big difuser but theres a problem with the space, because where would the silencers go? The diffuser will take up a lot of room under the car so i dont think it can be done.. any thoughts on this? Oh and theres one more problem.. safety.. i think here in holland its probably going to be illegal to mount them high up, for the safety of pedestrians and all that..

Bye, bye boot but yes, definitely doable.

[hmmmmm]

boot is already housing an ic and soon 2 turbos so thats not really an issue. Just thinking about the space needed to fab a diffuser, i dont think theres enough space fo the silencer to fit under the boot. But then again ive never seen a mr2 with a diffuser...

Just checked out ebay and theres not a lot of universal diffusers available, and most are carbon fiber, and therefore expensive.. So they need to be fabbed.

I've been in one - my mate has a F430 convertible - and I've driven it a few times! So *tongues* :)

As for my car, NO! NO MORE CHANGES. I just want the f'kin thing back now!!!

Funny to see this, I'm looking to do this on my MK1.

I'm thinking of a square number plate, moving the lights nearer to the center, and then the exhaust tips coming out from where the lights are now.

You'd have to be careful moving lights; Construction and use regs mean that they're where are they are for more than just aesthetics.

[hmmmmm]

I agree, theres no way you can just change the lights as you please. I also think placing the exhaust higher is a violation but im looking it to that.

[nik]

i would hazard a guess it cant be higher than the top of the rear bumper..

[hmmmmm]

aha, so we remove the bumper and put a 1 meter high diffuser on it :thumbsup:

Just send an email to the RDW (government vehicle department) about this, they should reply within 5 days, then ill know something more. This is offcourse based on dutch traffic laws so someone is going to have to do the same on your side of the pond.
