 Side exit exhaust just went to the broadland ducks 2cv meet and saw a 2cv with a side exit exhaust, when I get mine back I think I am going to have to go for it, really like the idea. I assume that it is the van/pickup version? I also wonder if anyone getting out of the passenger door will burn their legs  Has anyone else here tried it?

Re: Side exit exhaust I'd would say it's *practically* impossible to burn your legs on a side exit tail pipe!

Re: Side exit exhaust i sort of assumed I could just wack the short pipe on with no real problems. It seemed to me that the short pipe should be less wearing on the silencer.
