Has anybody ever ran their exhaust like an F430 through a Kenstyle rear?

I saw an F430 today (extremely rare in west Kentucky btw), and noticed the similarities in the rear bumper to the Kenstyle. I new that the kenstyle looked like that, just never noticed how the exhaust was run.


(I'm horrible at posting pictures, so this prolly doesn't work.)


I wonder how this would look on a G, Photoshop anyone?
I've been wanting the Kenstyle rear when I get a body kit, but this would be some nice custom work.

^yeah, I think the side ports would have to be wider to accomodate quad tips. I wish I had photoshop right now.

You are obviously on the internet... why dont you have photoshop? lol... all software is free... if you pay for software EVER... you fail @ life...

The Kenstyle rear is not low enough IMO... you would also have to worry about clearance with the bumper and bumper cover (Kenstyle rear)

Exactly, the holes go right across the rear bumper support

I thought about that, but I kinda wondered if anyone had molded them in lower or if it was just too much work.

Yes, the rear bumper is in the way. I thought about it a long time ago and checked it out, and it would be WAY to much work to do. Routing the exhaust that way would also be more restrictive.

yup, unless you went to a fuel cell to get the fuel tank out of the way to make room for the exhaust, did some custom tubing, maybe do some cutting/re-welding, re-do the rear bumper, blah, blah, blah....you get the idea

at the end of the day, you ask yourself how much would i be willing to spend on a mod that only a select few would even notice?

i would rather spend that money on a custom widebody kenstyle, custom wheels, and kick-*** custom paint job...oh right, someone beat me to it
