None that I know of. Reason being is part of the unibody/rocker panel is covered by the side skirts. I have seen people cut part of the pinch weld out, and seen a few photoshops of what you are describing would look like, but I think it would sacrifice integrity. I just mounted mine up as high as I could.

Cut some holes in under the body and in the factory side skirt and run it through that maybe? I dont really know...

I've considered doing something like that... very similar to the newer Mustang Cobras had, but as stated, you'd either have to cut up into the body and run your exhaust up over the pinchweld, or cut the pinchweld itself... either way isn't a great idea.

Wh not do a side exit behind the rear wheel? Just cut a hole in the bumper.

I'm doing the side exit through the grip tunning side skirts... It has a box shaped cut out at almost the right spot... i will still have to play with the pinch wied though or find a tip that has a bend in it..

Pics of what you're going with? It sounds like an intresting idea.

Could find any close up pics of them... these are the best 2 shots of them... You still can see the vent hole or whatever it's called...

My idea will be completed soon...If I can't get it to fit through the hole, I'm just gonna cut some of the bottom part off and make it fit...

Plan on using a Old School Challenger or Cuda Tip..
