this is a bad ass build bro! nice seein something different.
Got the exhaust done...
Or...kinda...I got one side of the exhaust done. The pictures are pretty self explanatory. I always kind of liked the idea of side exhaust and since Vipers used it I decided to do my version of a side exhaust. I could have routed it out through the rocker panels but I think it ends up looking cheep on Mustangs and the exhaust hangs too low. So I came up with a road race/ aviation inspired setup. That's dual 3" pipes coming through the trim piece and the trim piece is 14 gauge aluminum with stainless torx head bolts to match the bolts on the rims....You guys that know mustangs will know there is no bottom access to that part of the body and that is true. What had to happen was the floor underneath where the rear seat used to be was cut out. The exhaust system does a bend up and over the frame rails. And down and out of the body. Once the other side is done a new raised floor section will be fabbed.
There is still some finish work to do on the trim plate..(like elongate the two top center holes so they are inline)
I suspect this will be a love it or hate it look. But this is a love it or hate it build so it makes sense. Now the hard part will be making the other side identical.

Great pics!!! the car is coming out nicely.
The side exhuast look great.Do you think you might have a heat problem with the way you routed the exhuast?
Chris_Scott - send the car on up and I would be happy to hook ya up ;-)
Sonic_Gt, Brucesvt - thanks guys
yoda - I don't foresee any problems. The exhaust will be wrapped and the whole interior will be covered with Dynamat heat shield

This is absolutely the most insane build I have ever seen, good luck with it!!
original and sick!
Pretty sweet. I think you're going to have pretty much the most badass Mustang on the site.
I'm loving everything about, bud! I never knock anyone for going out and trying something different and putting their blood, sweat and tears into it. I've thought about doing something VERY similar to my exhaust and it's cool to see it being done. Good luck with the rest of the build and look forward to the end result!
