Default is this possible on a civic?

I want to have an exhaust that comes out behind the front wheel. like this skyline.
is this possible on a 1990 civic hatchback?? I dunno, is just another crazy idea.

Of course it's possible. It's going to be loud, though, and the first time you're not thinking and let your leg touch it you're going to wish you hadn't done it. If you drive this car on the street at all it's a horrible idea and is probably the best way I can think of to attract unwanted attention from cops.

of course it's possible. but why would you wanna? i mean unless your a true race car, that would be extremly loud and ugly.

it's just like running straight from header or downpipe, but just a bent pipe to the side. im sure you could bring it to a exhaust shop and the could custom fab one for ya.

possible but not resonable for a street car.
race car? go for it

ok, all points well taken. as far as sound, if it sounds good then im happy with it. i guess my real concern is the cop deal. is this illegal to have it on a street car? i wont daily drive my civic. my first one was stolen because of that. But I prefer raw sound from the engine. If its legal, I really dont care for cops. otherwise I wont do it. but as long as theirs no law against it, I will abuse it to the maximum. **** the pigs.........

thanks for the advice fellas.

It would be illegal because your most likely not going to have a cat installed on it (big fine). Also it would be extrememly loud so theres another ticket you'll get.

someone asked the same question about 2 weeks ago. search for it, had a bunch of info. noise is gonna be an issue.


you WILL get pulled over for it and questioned. given there's no LAW for it..but they can give you a noise pollution fine if nothing else.

If they pull people over for just having a cat-back, you would attract every cop in three counties to your doorstep when you cranked that car.

Having the exhaust exit behind the driver is preferable, if you want to keep your hearing . . .

It's going to be extremely loud though (especially without a turn-down) and thus highly illegal. Ever heard a Honda Challenge car?

theres no way in hell ur gonna fit a catalyic converter in there with it exiting that close to the wheel, so yes it will beillegal. and a cop will pull u over as soon as they see it sticking out there.

work with the car lines, do something like thisll

If you have to do something like the Skyline, this option is byfar the best.

this is an exhaust...not a rocket ship...

custom exhaust shop will probably charge you $50-$100 to make it... it will be stupid all the kids will laugh at you except for the kids with the picnic tables on their trunks who will run out and do the same thing... then you can all go cruse to the DMV together when you get your fix it tickets.

nuff said.
