If I recall, R-model Shelby GT-350s came with side exit exhaust. Does
anyone repop this system? I'm tired of the look of the under-valance
aftermarket duals on my '66 coupe and would like to do something a bit
different...

Hi Nate,
I ran side exit exhaust for about 3 years. I roughly copyed the exhaust
that was used on 65 Shelbys. I used header reducers into glasspacks into 45
degree bent 2 1/2 inch pipe that came out right in front of the rear tires.
Real simple to make. Very loud to say the least! It felt that the pipes came
up and plugged right into my ears. Honestly, I got tired of the setup and
went back to the rear valence style. If you use this setup get ready for some
serious noise.

On the other hand the motor would rev up much more quick than with the rear
valence setup.

Best Wishes,

I concur with Steve,

I have the same setup, and it is waaaaay too loud. I will be going straight
out the back as soon as I can.

Damn, you guys just spoiled my plans to switch to side exits too. I wondered
if it would be too loud..... Sure looks good though.

My guess, it wouldn't be too loud if I got rid of the glasspacks, and put on
a pair of 3 chamber flowmasters. They should really quiet it down.

Thanks for the info Steve (and others). I left out a few details in my
original post because I'm at work and I don't always have enough goof-off
time I used to have a homemade setup similar to the one you describe on
my coupe, but I used small turbo mufflers instead of glasspacks. It worked
pretty well but tended to bottom out on speedbumps. What sort of hangers
did you use on your system? I drilled a small hole in the pinch weld seam
under the rockers and used steel strap wrapped around the pipe to support
it and just let the header collectors hold the other end up. It worked
fine for 2 years until the straps broke, at which point I removed it and
replaced it with a more conventional system. But I would like to return to
something similar, if I could solve the clearance problem and find a better
way to hang it under the car. My car is fairly unmolested (underneath, at
least) so I'd like to avoid drilling a bunch of holes. However, if I could
fool myself into believing that I was duplicating something that the
factory offered I wouldn't feel so bad about it. I have noticed several
R-models running what looks like oval pipe (presumably to provide greater
ground clearance) and wondered what the factory setup was. Just pickin'
your brains...

The problem then becomes, how do you get the pipes out the side
since if you just make a 90 degree turn, you hit the leaf springs.
In my '65 Coupe, I have Dynomaxes with some manderal bends that
make a 180 toward the front to go around the leafs, then they have
a 120 or so to get it out the side in front of the tire. We mostly
did this because it would have been a pain to get it over the axle
and out. I guess I'm aging since I'm considering running it out the
back now. Don't get me wrong, it way cool having the exhaust out
the side, but even with the Dynomax's, it pretty loud because its
"right there".

BTW, this idea came from the AR Cudas. They came from the factory
this way.

Flomasters have a nice sound, but a bit loud for me. I like my Dynomax
Ultra-Flos. I think for the price I'd go with the Dynomax Turbos next time,
but I got the Ultra-Flos for a good price at the time ($80 each).

The Borlas and Ultra Flos are good choices for the person who wants to carry
on a conversation in their car, but yet wants mostly unrestricted flow for
performance and a nice growl at full throttle. The Flowmasters are louder
and I've heard tend to resonate more, but that probably depends on your
cruising rpm and pipe length.

I saw some tests that said the Hooker mufflers were pretty quiet too, and
had good flow. One of the mags has a test on many mufflers this month, I
forget which.

Good luck!

Hi All,

I currently have a set of Trans-Am style side-pipes on my Shelby - they
bolt directly onto the long-tube headers, and then out the side. I think
the pipes have kind of built-in mufflers, although they don't muffle much -
when I start her up in the garage, people in the house think that there's an
earthquake starting! VERY loud. I'm going back to a traditional system,
these are too loud for me (and I'm sure, too loud for the police!), plus
they have clearance problems (although that won't change much, as I'm
keeping
the long-tube headers anyway).

Regards,
Chris.

You think?

Open exhaust would require earplugs. Our TA car does. 20 minutes
w/o plugs results in 24 hours of ringing eardrums.

Hi Nate,

Like yourself, at the I let the header hold the front up. At the exit I
bought 2 of the correct size (for the pipe being used) muffler clamps. I
threw away the threaded u-bolts and just used the saddles where the u-bolts
would have came thru. I brazed (didn't have a mig at the time) them to be
used as pipe mounts. I brazed them so they were just inside the rocker panel
with the flat side up against the floor just inboard of the rockers. Using
the 2 holes in the saddle I marked and drilled holes into the floorboards
(wound up being behind the interior panels) I used 2 of those expanable crush
nuts (like the ones used in pickup doors to hold the mirriors in thin sheet
metal) inserted into the holes and seated them. Then it was a simple matter
of running 2 bolts and lockwashers up into the saddle to hold the pipe up.
The pipes were about 1 inch below the rockers and I never had any problem
with ground clearance......only with the police reguarding what they called
"Altered Exhaust". "Son, Do you have more time than money?".......but thats a
different story

I hope this makes sense to you. If I find a clear pix of my old setup I'll
send it to you.

I never said that the AAR Cuda did side exhaust first, I
said they did the setup like mine. Let me explain a little
more detail. The '65 GT350's used round glasspacks and had
the mufflers further forward so that they could just do about
an 80 to 85 degree angle and get the pipes out the side. If
you try and stick turbo mufflers where the glasspacks were you
will find they don't fit. So, the turbos need to go further
back near where the rear seat is (crawl under your Mustang
and check). So, in order to have turbo style mufflers in
this spot and still have side exhaust, I have manderal bends
that do a 180 (meaning the exhaust now travels forward) then
it does about a 95 or 100 degree turn to get out in front of
the wheel. Basically, you have to get around the leaf spring
and, in my case, the underride traction bars. Check out my
post again, my intent was to help someone get turbos in and
still get the pipes out the side, not claim who invented side
exhaust first.

After listning to this discussion, I think I formulated my own plan. I run
Thrush Turbos now and they are a bit too quiet. I'm thinking of Dynomax 6"
round bolted to the headers for normal driving. Then, bend up some side
exhaust pipes for the inspection station. Anybody running the D-max
rounds? Heard any? Interested in how they sound before I plunk down $70
each.

If I read this right, you mean you want to have the exhaust just spew out under the floorpan of the passenger compartment?

This might not be such a great idea, as the carbon monoxide gas can easily find its way into the car. Even a small leak can do harm to your brain in this manner, much less all the exhaust the engine is producing.

That is a consideration I have not overlooked. Every hole in the floor
pan, trunk, firewall, etc has been sealed in some fashion. It's a fair
weather car with no A/C, so we run with the vents and windows open. The
current exhaust uses turndowns under the body right in front of the rear
end. If I did build the header muff setup and had to run it somewhere in
the dead of winter, I'd put the side pipes on. The bigger worry is that,
while I might love the noise, my wife might not get anywhere near the car.
Side pipes or no. So, it remains at the idea stage.

The second consideration is: Is it worth it? It might be a better
investment to run three chamber FM's at the headers and run permanent side
pipes angled out to the rear, just in front of the traction bars, with
slight turndowns or with rectangular ends. From the posts it seems that
that might be the best compromise between agressive tone and legality.

In those wild, younger days, I ran the 3' pipe + glasspack arrangement for
several years as that was all I could afford and that car was THE car. I
just made sure there were no holes on the underside. In the meantime, my
hair fell out. I wonder...

The October issue of "Mustang & Fords" did an article on mufflers. They
looked at Hooker, Midas, Flowmaster and Edelbrock. "Hooker muffler has
a nice smooth tone and relatively quiet. The Edlebrock mufflers had the
most aggresive sound, and would be a good choice in a situation where
close quarters are not a factor. The quietest of the four... were
Magnaflow (Midas). The Flowmasters mufflers had a great
high-performance sound that we can only describe as classic musclecar
and very aggressive. It's easy to hear your cam through the Flowmaster
units".

I can tell you that the 3-chamber Flowmasters behind my 351 is ANYTHING

Just a thought, but you could run a stock exhaust out
the back...perhaps cut the pipes a hair short so they
are not noticed and have the pipes bent towards the
road (down) and have a fake set out the side. Great
looks w/o the problems. I know this idea bites, but it
is an idea.

No, the idea doesn't bite. However, as I'm intersted primarily in
performance, twisty pipes out the back tend to increase backpressure. Life
is also simpler without the out-the-back. But, bending up a 3" full is not
completely out of the question. Might be big $$$, though.
