Exhaust Upgrades?

[NSTG8R]

Okay, went through the whole thread, and did a Bing image search, and I still don't know where the exhaust exits! Not that it really matters, as long as the shape of the vehicle doesn't draw it into the passenger compartment, just curious.

If it really is considered a motorcycle, the exhaust could be outside the body, run right along the non door side like a sidepipe...of course it would have a chrome heat shield on it.

At least it would keep people from leaning on that side! Lol

This is not going to be accurate because they changed the design after the muffler incident in NYC. LOL :-) Z

Come on...don't you want to be like us bikers, showing off our chrome pipes! We will even get you some finger less driving gloves!

Thanks guys! I need to save that pic for my Blender software (open source software to make realistic models...very friggin' cool). Might seem ridiculous, but I had 'visions' of popping off the back hatch (trunk) on the "no chance of rain" days, and rolling down both windows for that "open air" feel while cruising down the road. The issue I had with a Jeep Wrangler I had, was that at certain speeds (with the top off), the exhaust gases would swirl around the passenger compartment so bad your eyes would start burning. Totally different aerodynamics on the Elio though, so pretty much just running too many "mind experiments" to keep me distracted during the long wait. Thanks again!

I already have the gloves for when I walked with a walker. LOL :-) Z

I would like to see it run down the right side also, It would improve ground clearance and look cool too!
