Driver side Exhaust Cut-out side skirts?

Going dual side exhausts ( I want to be an equal opportunity offender LOL) and just wondering if anybody makes a side skirt that have the cut-out on the drivers side.

I know we can just cut it out .

Just wondering if there was any aftermarket ones.

Thanks

VINNIE

Hey V I'm not using my exhaust cut out, I might be willing to part with it for
$1 million dollars (for you of course ; o )



The prob with just cutting it out is you wont have the inner well of the cut out : o (
might want to close the other one in and do something LIKE THIS available in 3" + 3-1/2"

OR THIS

OR THIS
(but those are only 2-1/2")

I like THESE
You'll prob buy THESE

Hey Vinnie

Do you remember that dark red almost purple coloured F150 that was in Jims shop in 2005 with the N/A twin cam motor.

It had real nice side exhaust exits just above the side skirt.
A clean looking truck and those pipe exits on each side looked well clean.

Just a thought mate.

Rob...do you think the issue with the exhaust is due to the winter conditions up there in NY or the iffy quality of those early silver bullet systems? Or a combination of both.

I have one of the first ones and it's holding up fine. Must be the winter conditions, plus the chemicals and salt used to combat them.

Dam it looks good cut out on the DS (even without the inner well)
DO IT V !!!

As for my exhaust, although everything else on my L is brand new this Cat Back is an early early model and Mike put it on a while ago, it's prob well over 4 years old now. Although it's never seen wet driving with me (except the 5 hour ride home from Atco &(@$%@(&$^%$) the tips were pretty well shot when I got it. It NEVER sits unprotected in the elements but they still obviously play a part.

The funny part is the Mufflers, X Pipe, Mid Pipes, Cats, and Headers look fine,
the NOT so funny part is no one makes the Tail Pipe Assy any more @%@$%
I've been driving it a while without them and multi muffler shops I went to wont bend 2-1/2" pipe so when the winter calms down I'll get it on a lift and make a decision, (I may have a deal on a complete 3" system by then anyway ; o )

EDIT
Hey V I just remembered I can show you exactly how it'll look

yeah

Yeah, mine looks like that too. A good 50 mph bump away from being history!!! Was supposed to be stainless steel?

That was the first gripe i had with JDM in all my dealings with them. Said there was nothing they could do .

My silver bullet BARELY saw rain, never saw snow and salt.

Everything else is perfect except for the muffler to tips.

Vinnie, Even if one isn't available I think with a little fabrication work one could be made, I'd buy a new exhaust skirt/ground effects piece, trim it to match the other side an glass in the inner portion, I think one good day of work and it would be ready for paint.
