    Why is it when somebody ask for a little help, the majority of the responses are criticisms based on one's own personnel taste.

    I dig it. There has to be a place selling that.

    Dual exhaust exiting in front of the rear wheels with a 4 pipe exhaust tip. Doesn't sound that hard to make.

    I say someone adapt the unmistakably awesome style of that Titan to a Mav or Comet. We have a term for those kinda things around here... they're called "TJ"(Tijuana) cars.

    I think MadMaxMav has those on his car. And on that car, I think they look great. I wouldn't do it to mine because it doesn't fit the overall look I'm going for, but there are instances when I think something like that would be perfect.

    2nd'ed on calling them "zoomies" that's what I've always heard to them referred as.

    Ayup... methinks the original poster abandoned this thread after comments (generally) regarding the rice-a-roni Tundra...

    but now at least I know the look is similar to zoomie tubes... if they come right off the engine and dump behind the front wheel... and you can weld in a baffle or "muffler" to make them street legal (like a Harley Davidson baffle) and if you sit in traffic for a long time your teeth will turn black from breathing in the exhaust dumping up from the side of the car.

    Reminds me of a cruising around town in an old race car - an Austin Healey a roomate was going to buy - the twin pipe unmuffled exhaust was 3" below the driver's seat and burned my *ss in traffic - it was roasting us in the cockpit since I guess it was designed for removing exhaust gas only at high speed. The multiple Webers were choking up too and we both declined lighting cigarettes for fear of losing our eyebrows.

    AND... thanks Blugene... I used to have a Trendy Am - (mine was a rare one that did NOT have the screaming chicken on the hood) shoulda remembered those chrome tips when I was searching... I used to have Firebird resonators on a Buick 455 and it sounded awesome.

    Now instead of just fake twin tips I'm thinking of headers to twin tubes with Harley baffles. Cheaper than the Cherry Bombs I was considering. Cops here don't bawk at noisy street cars, but the noise DOES tend to draw their attention.

    I kind of like the looks of NASCAR exhaust pipes coming out the pasasenger side.

    JC Whitney used to sell those... (original post pic)
    They look like headers in reverse. The inlet side looks like you are putting a collector backwards on your exhaust, then the 4 tubes come out and bend around to peek out from under the rocker panel. So instead of 4 into 1 collectors of a header, these are 1 into 4 Zoomies.

    I don't know if JC Whitney sells them anymore or not.
    They used to sell all sorts of campy stuff.
