Ideas on exhaust exit.

[747mopar]

It's been a rough year for the Charger, first my wife backed into it them I backed it into the Cruze.

Fortunately both in the same area with minor damage but since I wanted to bring to pipes through the valance nows the time. Just throwing ideas around but am leaning towards the new RAM look with 1/3 cutouts and a little lip?

I was watching reruns the other evening
there was a cool episode of Bitchin Rides
they did a E-body Orange 'cuda 70-74
(don't remember the year, car was from Alaska,
sorry don't remember the name of the episode either)
it had the exhaust tips
come out thru the middle of the rear valance
rectangle shape cutouts like 3"t x 4"w (?)
followed the shape of the valance
they cut the hole so it'd be about 1/4 bigger all around
when the tips were fitted
hand built/formed the tip/s that fit into it, rolled rounded edges

& one of the fab guys made a trim ring for the valance, for the tips
1/2 round that fit the holes edge, welded on little studs, held it in
to give it a bit of character/detail touch (for the lack of a better term)

it looked really sharp

it's like episode 6 Aug. 2019 (maybe ?)

I looked for the link or photo & couldn't find it
you may be able to
I didn't spend too much time looking

good luck

I really like the style of the ram exhaust 1/3 cutout. It isn't particularly a new idea though. The pic is from my 69 opel, factory exit. There is now too much stuff in the way now, so mine has a similar cutout in the rocker panel for exit in front of the rear tires.(fenderwell headers.)
I think the ram style exit would look great.

THIS!! Season 6•Episode 3•
The FINEST E-body exhaust tip "exit strategy" I've ever seen, with the AAR Cuda&T/A Challenger megaphone that hooked a U in the muffler itself, and exited in front of the rear tires being a close 2nd.

If your considering side exit you might want to look at Spintech...

Don't mean to hijack (gonna do it anyway) but @1 Wild R/T , on the t/a-aar, were the stock mufflers just double pass, unlike normal triple pass turbo or hemi mufflers? I notice accurate exhaust talks about resonance.

Thanks guys, nobody responded before I jumped in and made the decision. Looking under the car narrowed down my choices lol. Gas tank, frame rails, etc all dictated the only path without major mods so I made these little panels to give it a nice look.

I've been so busy I still haven't gotten around to painting it, drove it last summer just like this, in epoxy primer. It's ready for paint, just need to find the time.
