struggle to do it with 3" exhaust. probably wont get a box in it and the shape of the floor wont leave much for getting it high enough for ground clearance.

you could have a box in it then yeah.

just measure from the sill behind front wheel to the floor and think of that with a 3" bit of pipe in it. i definitely couldnt do it on mine. barely get a jack under there.

i have a only a back box on a 3" system. its fairly loud and quite unpleasant if you have to sit at motorway speeds for some length of time. plus tbh, can fail mot being too loud.

its not an every day car just a little weekend toy to have a blast, im not going to have any boxes on it well maybe a small box not sure yet,

i thought it was illegal to have the exhaust come out infront of the front wheels or am i wrong.

i just want a short and as large as i can get

mates just passed mot with 3 inch straight out the bumper no boxes straight off the turbo,
though even though it's just a drag car he's going to put a full system on it as it does his head in.

i thought you couldnt have one on the passenger side because it will be directed towards pedestrian if youre driving next to a foot path?
