Yeah yeah yeah I know people don't like all these "coming soon" threads, but I'm basically just doing a build thread for it.

Here is the plan.

I'll be using the Shine Auto Project KS-Style rear bumper and a Racing Beat Furai Muffler.

My buddy at the shop is still deciding on how to do the rear exhaust cutouts that come on the bumper originally.

Basically what is going to happen is I'm going to have my local exhaust guy bend me up a few tight mandrel bends to connect the midpipe to the RB muffler.

The big black section in the middle of the bumper is going to be cutout a little bit more than it already is and is going to be insulated and the muffler is going to exit through that middle section.


I've got it drawn up in my head and my body guy knows what I'm wanting, but he is tryin to draw up on how to execute this properly.

 

please please please make it a dual center exit, cuz i think a single center exit just look really wierd, even if its just dual tips it would look better, just my opinion

 

good luck.

 

Using the RB Furai muffler, there is no possible way to fit 2 of them under the car. There is barely enough room to fit the one.

 

I was trying to picture this, but couldn't... PS to the rescue. Is this what you are shooting for?

 

hmmm.... if it turns out like the PS it will be verrrrry interesting

but props for doing something unique and custom...interested in seeing how this is going to turn out

 

hmmm with that PS showing the exhaust shrowds being glassed over, I really dont like how heavy and saggy it makes the rear look...

 

I've always thought a center exhaust could look neat if the bumper was dealt with properly. However I'd do it with 2 round outlets.

 

Does Scoot do something very similar with their RX7?

 

That is exactly what I'm shooting for, but after seeing the old exhaust cutouts covered up, I think I may leave them open and do something else with them.

But overall yes, that is the general idea I'm going for.

 

Mesh:


Auxilary taillights/rear fog lights:

 

Rear mounted machine guns:

 

The machine guns would be cool, but I think that the cops wouldn't like it too much.

I like that stock rear bumper with the mesh over the factory holes covered.

 

I like the machine gun look lol

 

epic win.

 

in all seriousness though I do think it looks pretty good, very unique if you can pull it off

 

Well I should know here in about 2-3 months. My body guy is playing around a few things with the rear bumper, so we'll see what he comes up with.

 

Check out the video in this post, not the RB muffler, but very similar.

+1 imma buy u a beer. A newcastle

 

Sevenstock, for a closer look at how big the exhaust really is, its pretty big i dunno if it will fit in the KS with a clean look. Ive thought of this when i took this pic at SS but how to mount the exhaust? Too much $$$ for all the Fab, the Muffler is $150-200 from racing beat.
edit: its pretty heavy. the rear fogs PS is not that bad of an idea with those style fogs.

 

machine guns for the win!!!

 

LOL nice photochops!!

 

Thats gonna look shitty

 

i'm interested in where this idea is going. i'll be watching and i'll post my opinion when i figure out what it is haha

 

^Man zumn you had it in your hands...why didnt you just run away and keep it?
