Take it you are a bit of a sierra fan Leenkay. I would like a black sapphire cosworth.

Side exit exhaust on a coupe?? Not to my taste.

I'd imagine it is something the owner had lying around at a time of need.

I just don't see the point? It looks a bit lonely doesn't it!


Here's a suggestion, Fix two on each side, with chrome pipe work running along the skirts and drilled out heat protectors protecting them and then four coming out the back also - then, it would look nice wink

Perhaps a finishing touch of five of those strange looking pipes that stick out from a hole the bonnet ... we would be really talking

I agree - it's pony...

..although it could pass as an extra sales gimmick on 16 valve models..

Used to be a bit of a Max Power type mod this, though haven't seen it anywhere for years now, in the same way as three spoke alloys lasted a short time. IMVHO, that could have been done better, it looks like a bog standard tailpipe on there. The better looking side exits are long and flat, and and considerably more subtle. Tend to get used on cars that have been lowered a daft amount as the rear subframe is so low, an exhaust won't pass over it...

So take a cat that can negotiate speed bumps etc relatively well.....
Then do that to it.
It comes out the back for a reason.

Guys you have it all wrong, its actually a jet and its so he can turn left very very quickly in order to avoid all the roadside missles that are about these days.

It's neither one thing nor another, a sidepipe exhaust on a car that doesn't suit one, and fitted in a zoomie fashion. Zoomies are the multiple (usually 3-4) smaller bore exhausts that come out just before the rear tyres.
I have a set of sidepipes in the shed waiting to go on my ride actually .
Don't panic they're not going on the coop but on my 79' Chevy custom van, a vehicle far more in keeping with sidepipes!

Also in the plans are flare kit and chinspoiler, sunvisor, teardrop portholes, hood scoop, sidepipes, tubular running boards and a reworked interior.
