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.

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.

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..

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..
