Side Exit Exhausts
Advantages:
-Look the t**s!
-Exhaust gases dont have a lot of travel, (which can sometimes produce a different noise).
Disadvantages:
-Would be a bit of a bas***d to make and fit.
Not sure if its illegal to have. Dont think it is, all the ginneta's, marcos, and cobras have em, o and caterhams so dunno.

my mates mk2 coupe s had a side exit exhaust for a while. it was a right bodge though, just cut off the standard pipe where it points to the side before going into the back box & then welded a straight piece of pipe with a tailpipe on the end of it which stuck out just before the rear wheel. Looked different but sounded horendous. VERY loud.
A custom exhaust place should be able to knock something up easily. although they'll have to use a good silencer since there'll only be room for one. it used to always catch on speed humps too.
