    Well it seems to me that you already know what you want to do. A half an inch of clearance will rub on the concrete alllll day. I have said what I wanted to already, there is no reson for side exit other than looks. Just run some sort of test pipe.

    I do appreciate your input, it's good to hear other opinions...hence the reason for the post. That, and I was hoping someone could point me in a direction of where to get that tip.

    I would think for performance I would benefit better from a shorter exhaust without the backpressure of a muffler/resonator...wouldn't it? Correct me if wrong, please.

    I know only roughly what I want to do. I'm still looking for ideas. I may not even use the idea at all and just scrap the project. Just a new idea...

    As for scraping concrete, I really think the only concern I'd have is right there at the very edge of the car. Looking underneat, the stock pipe has a valley (if you will) for the pipe that already comes about halfway to the back of the car then turns to the passenger's side and goes to the endge of the car. The stock exhaust then turns back towards the rear of the car, over the axles, crosses back to the other side of the car (through a muffler) and out the rear.

    For example...
