roush side exhaust, owners experience?
 
Any comments or experience on ground clearance of roush side exhaust.
Friend heard from 1 owner that had too low, many issues with hitting ground & bumps. Not sure if that car was lowered.
We're thinking of roush stage 3 kit with side exhaust on our 2000 & 2003 v6's

I think it looks good, as far as hitting I am not sure.

VAEM 02-17-2012 07:13 PM

I think it looks great too. No idea about ground clearence.

ChadStang 02-18-2012 10:41 AM

X3 on good looks but I can't comment for sure on clearance. If you aren't lowered I would think it should be ok.

SNAKEBITE 02-20-2012 04:26 PM

that point makes sense^^^^

Never heard anything about grounding,however I did hear that the exhaust blows up dust and crap from curbside ??

SNAKEBITE 02-22-2012 11:43 AM

Good point and makes total sense^^^^

I imagine that would be the case. Get ready to dust the sides of the car everytime you drive it. lol

My buddy has a side pipe with a plastic ground effect around the side exhaust on his mustang and had the body shop fix it three times in one year of ownership. He is changing it this spring. Also they are right about the dust always blowing up his car is always dusty. Not worth the hassles for the side pipes.

SNAKEBITE 02-23-2012 11:21 AM

that sux i.e. 3 repairs. That would be very disheartening

^^^ x 3. I really like the look of side exhaust systems. I've never picked any up for the SN95's as I imagined similar type of problems. Too bad - they really look nice.

I remember when there was the SVO side exhaust for SN95. I always thought that it looked really good.

SNAKEBITE 02-27-2012 01:18 PM

any pics there kind sir?^^^

2000roush 02-27-2012 09:09 PM

if i knew how to post pics i would. i never had any issues with the exhaust on my stage 2 roush. plenty of ground clearance and i am 1 inch lower than a stock gt. dust is not that bad. i dont find it kicks up any dust at all. the only thing i would complain about it rush hour traffic and how the fumes come right in the car. but i have a convertible so it would not be bad with the windows closed on a coupe. if anyone wants pics just email me and i will send some of the side exits and underneath.

2000roush 02-27-2012 09:36 PM

cool. i figured out how to post pics. just so everyone knows this is not stock roush exhaust. i changed it last year. the stock roush exhaust was not loud enough.

SNAKEBITE 02-28-2012 04:41 PM

very nice and thanks for posting +1

That SVO side exhaust was the best looking side exhaust ever made in my opinion. When I had the 95 GTS I looked for a kit, but they were in very high demand, and no longer in production, so I could never find one:mad:

SNAKEBITE 02-29-2012 04:47 PM

how frustrating is that eh

VAEM 02-29-2012 08:26 PM

^^^ I too looked for the SVO side exhaust. She was a tough one to find for sure!

SNAKEBITE 03-01-2012 11:35 AM

I wonder why, not many produced I am guessing.

Not many produced, and not for very long! Too bad, cause they were sweet! Here's a pic.....

SNAKEBITE 03-01-2012 04:24 PM

that does look very good +1

VAEM 03-03-2012 07:38 PM

^^^ Love the pic. Yet, they look as good as I remember. I'll never know why they stopped producing them.

i find it would look better if it was one tip instead.

SNAKEBITE 03-04-2012 09:49 AM

I think the 2 tipper looks alright but everyone has different taste

DublDee 03-04-2012 09:51 AM

Yeah I like them just they way they were!:tup

SNAKEBITE 03-05-2012 10:02 AM

oh good I am not the only one then tehehe

ChadStang 03-06-2012 08:24 PM

I like the 2 tips, and I mean that to sound completely straight.

VAEM 03-06-2012 08:31 PM

I am also a fan of the two tips coming out of the one hole ... in an SvO exhaust sense.

SNAKEBITE 03-07-2012 05:16 PM

I think we get it boys lol
