Question - Side exhaust for Gen II - Has anyone done this?

[Kevin Stitely]

I've been thinking about converting my 99' RT/10 rear exhaust to side exhaust. My end goal is to achieve a similar look and feel as the Gen III. My thought process is the following:

1. Use the existing side sills. Make minor fabrication adjustments to custom fit the exhaust holes or search the after market to see if something exist.

2. Cover the existing rear exit with a blank after market filler panel.

3. Modify the existing CORSA Cat Back to exit through the side sills.

Has anyone done this? If so, please reply with your thoughts, estimated costs, and photo's, source of after market parts, etc.

Barry,
Thanks for the photo's and detail behind the project.

Do you know if there is an after market kit available (i.e., pre fabricated)?

Only if you use Gen 1 sills i believe...

Hey Rick,
I got the filler panel from autoform, comes all painted to your specs, here is a link: http://www.autoformgroup.com/sales.html
I do have another set of GenI side sills that are being painted blue, was a spare set, I might sell them, I can let you know if I decide to sell unless you already have some, here are some pictures with the insert installed:

I love the look, but after 4 years I've gone back to rear exhaust. Extra noise just wears you out after a while.

Damn, that silver car looks awesome.

Hello Eric,

Yes, I do have the side exhaust sills. They are in reasonable shape, no dents - that I recall anyway. They do have ~20000 miles normal wear and some yellowing so they are not really ready to just bolt on...

If interested, I'll go take some high res pictures for you.

Joe

 

[Eric H]

yeah please do. and PM me what you'd want for them, or I could trade you for a nice set of stock silver side's and pay for shipping :-D

 

[JWVIPER]

they both look great,

I Love 'em. Side exhaust rocks. Those Gen 2's look great with it.

Hi Eric,

I've already put my stock side sills back on. And I don't mean to sound presumptuous, but were I you, I'd keep my Gen II sills. If memory serves, they list for ~3600 EACH and the Gen I pieces were close to 18-1900 ea.

I'll e-mail you tonight with pics.

Anyone care to comment on fair market value? No Viper taxes...

FLX109- I am still looking for the Gen 1 sills, would love if you could sell me your extra ones, email at [email protected] lets hook up, and thanks for the link to Auto Forum for the filler panel, that was great info, thank you, Rick

Good Evening Eric,

Sent you an e-mail with pictures. Also loaded the pic to my gallery on this site.

With the flash, the pics look a little "off", but they are a perfect macth to stock Viper silver. I'd be more than happy to provide a couple of local VCA contacts if you wanted some one to look at them for you.
