Default Dual Side Exit?

Before i go through the hassle of finding the shop to bend my pipes, is it possible to run a dual side exit exhaust on a 2dr s-10 blazer? I want to try to get one on each side.

im not sure where the gas tank is on a 2dr, so youll have to crawl underneath and see what obstructions there may be. ive never seen an exhaust like this on a blazer so idk if that means it just cant be done or because some ppl dont care for the look.

The gas tank is in the back were the spare tire should be on most models. But i was just wondering since the frame is so close to the outer edge if it could be done.

In front of the back tires or behind? I would think it's possible to get around the obstructions but be careful not to have too much of a "valley" in the pipe post cat or when you start her up you'll shoot soot all over you're neighbors..LOL.

Default What do yall think

So i noticed that no one has dual side exit pipes on a blazer and want to know what yall would think if you saw a blazer with these on the side? Keep in mind that it is a two door so it would be rite below the doors.

Hmm thats a tough call. I'd have to actually see it to judge it lol.
It would depend if you were running a lift or lower, and if it had rims or big tires i think...but again, I'd have to see it to judge it.

I think it would look cool. With the "perforated" look onna lifted and smooth chrome look onna lowered.

If it's a lowered, I guess it would look ok (I saw it on such one with perforated "cover"), but if it's a regular or a lifted, I think that it wouldn't look as good, and it wouldn't be practical, as you'll be touching it with your feet, thus scratching it or burning your skin :P , as you said that "it would be rite below the doors". But if it would be behind the end of doors (as in your attached picture), it might be ok, but will look less beautiful.
And I think that you need to keep in mind that if you're an offroader, it will get pretty scratched and damaged by flying stones and things...
