    I loved mine when they exited in front of the rear tires. Had to get rid of them when I put Cal-Tracs on, since they interfered with each other.

    Caltracs have a bracket that hangs down just at the front bushing, but the snubbers on traction bars are typically further back than that. I used traction bars with my side exit pipes with no problems.

    I personally like the pipes to exit at the rear of the vehicle, but that's just me. I'm kind of old school on some things. :)

    Oh yeah! Pics of side pipes ( well not the pipe going all the down the side of the car) but where the pipes exit in front of the rear tires would be cool!!!
