Side exit exhausts need an oval section. But pointless due to the serious lack of space. Do it internal or out the back.

Love the idea! I've seen it done many times actually so it's definitely possible. Instead of brining the pipes under the footwells, could they be moved further forwards to just under the where the rear subframe legs mount to the body? Might get a bit close to the tyre on full lock though. I think the best way to figure it out is get your car on a ramp and hold up a bit of tubing to see where you can route it. Just keep in mind that I occasionally scrape my front floors on speed bumps so if you're planning on going low then you may need the extra clearance in that area!
Cheers for the shout out by the way

Hi, I've put side pipes on my mini. Very loud and gets lots of attention.

OP picture looks cool but guarantee you'll be burning your legs on it every time you get out after a spirited drive lol
(I assume that is the reasoning behind the protective 'honeycombed' tubing on the black flatbed mini post#3)
post directly above looks a lot more sensible and well fitted, albeit a bit of a magnet for speed bump damage surely?

Image in the original post is an old and well known photoshop and technically very hard to do without cutting into the floor.

well yes that and the following CAD model along similar lines, both would be burn risks for sure
I have a fair idea of which bits you'd have to cut into but I'd be pretty wary of chopping into the bulkhead and floor near the A post, and changing the layout without being well versed in structural work to be honest.. sure there's plenty would be confident doing it but not me

Hi, not sure if you were talking about my setup being a magnet for speed bumps? I've had no issues with bumps at all which surprised me.
My thought were if it doesn't work at least I've had a go at making something a little different.

I wasn't knocking it all it looks cool, It was literally just that it seemed likely to get caught on stuff but if that's all good then brilliant (I'm also surprised lol) good luck to you is definitely all about variety. I'm not into rows and rows of identical cars that doesn't get me excited at allHi, not sure if you were talking about my setup being a magnet for speed bumps?

hi, thanks for the compliment. You didn't come across as knocking it at all.
