Rad idea. Might look cool! Only problem would be that the pipe would be under the back door and occupants would have to deal with noise and heat, maybe even exhaust fumes. Who knows?

Brad Noon has done side exit exhaust on his SE. It comes out directly behind the rear wheels. Interesting look that's for sure.

Bad idea if you live in a place where the temp gets cold. Ford had this problem with the 97 F-150's, where when it got cold and the exhaust got hot, the heat bent the rims. That is why 98+ F-150 have the exhaust behind the tire. If you did it right I think it would look pretty sweet though.
