Side pipes

Just wondering if anyone has any pix of the undercarrige with sidepipes on.
My muffler shop needs to see how they look. They are looking to see where they can mount the muffler and the Y-pipe. I shoud be ordering my pipes from Mike next week.

Thanks

Mike at SoCal probably has photos from his personal install.

Thanks
you will need an electric cutout to make them functional and need to really think how you are going to hang ur pipes to not cause problem with heat.

they make lifetime guaranteed cutouts

He does't need a cut off from the way he describes. I'm thinking he wants to replace the stock exhaust with a new set up that Ys after the muffler and dumps into the side pipes rather than keeping the stock exhaust and making the side pipes functional also like you want to do.

Thanks CJ.
I'm mounting my muffler just after the converter. Make a Y-pipe off of that and go to the side pipes. I'll cut a hole near the end of the side pipe and insert the y-pipe into it. I should say my customizing shop is going to. They have looked at the under side of the car and showed my what they could do.
They have desined it, but I have not seen the final desine yet. Might stop in tomorrow and see whats shaking.

Thats what I want. I don't realy care for having side pipes on and having the stock exhaust sticking out the back. Dosen't look good to me.
