The flames and the side pipe just don't suit the car.

I think it would only be illegal cos it's too low. And as long as it exits behind the door opening it's legal.

That said, the owner should be run over with his car for doing that to it.

To be really cool, should have real flames out of the exhaust, not painted ones coming off the front wheel. :?

in NSW, I believe you have to have the exhaust exiting behind the rear axle, not the rear door.

the only exception to this is if the factory exhaust came out before the rear axle

I agree Al and thrash I think you are correct, i think its the axle.

Cheers

In Qld long ago (last century) it had to be behind the rearmost opening window and away from the kerb so panelvans could have the outlet in front of the axle

In nsw it must exit behind the rearmost opening to the passenger compartment which means behind the hatch

Sidepipes look tryhard and IMO only work on Cobras and Clubmans. That said, the Boss style powerbulge on the bonnet looks half decent.
