[QUOTE="95PGTTech, post: 12701218, member: 55701"] For rear suspension reasons, I need to move to a side exhaust on my 1994GT. I previously had a Borla/SVO setup on the 98 Cobra but there is no chance of it working straight out of the attic due to the subframe connectors and the diameter of the tips/ground clearance. The 94 has no side skirts, pic for reference (not the car, but has similar rear ride height). [IMG]http://img466.imageshack.us/img466/6424/142863172wz2.jpg[/IMG] I am not a particular fan of the New Edge style Roush side exit (rectangular) but I have little other option. The entire exhaust is 2.5". Tips online range from $50 each to $130 each and I'm not really excited about any of them. I was going to go right over to the garage today and start playing it by ear like I normally do but I'm glad I took the day to draw it all out and come up with a prototype, changed it 3x already.
