Tell me what you think of this exhaust idea
I have an '05 Black Cherry, xB. Ok - I've done a little work, and I think it'll look nice when I'm done, but I need some input, and help if you guys can.
First - Just what do you think of the idea, I'm going to try to get dual exhaust, coming out in the dead center of the rear, somewhat reminisent (sp?) of the Porsche Boxster, but I'm gunna go with the square exhaust tips, I think it'll go with the whole boxy look.
Second - I should be able to do almost all of the work myself, but I can't seem to find a bumper replacement with an exhaust outlet in the middle (no surprise there), and I don't want to go one-off because, well, I'm poor. Anybody know of a bumper out there?
P.S. Don't spare my feelings, if it's the dumbest thing you've ever heard, or if you think that I'm an idiot for hoping for a cheap way to do this, straight tell me.

I like George's dual center exit exhaust the most. Though I have not looked under his xB or seen it in person, I do think its the nicest set-up. I'm just wondering how he relocated the charcoal cnister and related lines, or if there is no muffler at all.
If you wish for side exit exhaust, good luck.
Here's a few things to think about. How is the piping going to be routed w/ the muffler? The resonator sits pretty much dead center in the system. Unless you don't care how loud its going to be.
Also, how low do you plan on going? The frame rails will pretty much prevent you from a drop lower than an inch unless you'll have air. That's if you are going w/ 2.25 inch piping.
I'm not an exhaust expert and have no foraml training, but these were some of the issues I dealt with when I originally decided to change my exhaust set-up. Yes, side exit was a thought also, but I went a different route when I got under the car.
Just a few things to think about.
