Very nice, and very interesting. hmmm,,, pros and cons?
I would like to know. it looks cool to me. It is for sure not less pipe to save on cost tho?
And the side pipes will dirty and damage your paint on both sides of the car with the hot fumes and debris out of the pipes. I know that it is always difficult to clean the back bumper just on top of the stock exhaust outlet.

For a drag car it's great, very short routing, minimum back-pressure, high exhaust velocity. Having no mufflers is for race cars only.

If your car is a street car then this is a very silly idea as the noise alone will be over-bearing. Secondly your un-diluted exhaust gases will slowly kill people.

I honestly don't think you will see any Performance increase what so ever , The exhausts are usually cut/ Run short on drag cars to save weight and they normally run almost 80mm piping and screamer set-ups

And the noise is not really worth it , Might keep the one tire warmer that will be lovely on the side shafts

Metro will take the car off the road.

I was in the court twice for that already!

They deem the car not roadworthy with the noise levels.

So good luck let me know what the fine was and what the stupid Sisiswe Magistrate says when you do end up in court.

By the way, side pipes are for Cobras and Lotus 7s and all American v8s.
Personally I dont think it would look good on a sx.

Nothing looks better than a fat ass jap style exhaust on a jap car! :D
