the last i heard about side exhausts, (20yrs ago at min) it just needed to be a certain distance from the door(30cm rings a bell) and be under the noise limit and have some heat shielding (those pictured could pass if you had a muffler before them) high utes handle pretty crap, so you need to decide how crap you can live with.
i'd say ask your pink slip person and an exhaust mob -

Okay this is a little outlandish but I've grown up on 70s and 80s american movies and alot of these involves muscle cars with jacked up rear ends and huge fuck off exhausts and I quite enjoy that style (don't shoot me haha) and i was thinking of chucking side exit exhuasts on melba toast (my xf ute) and was thinking what's the legality of it all because i know they're legal to an extent in nsw but no website will tell me the specifications to have this all legal. And is it really worth it to look like a million bucks. Now I'll be doing this in conjuncture with engine mods so I'm not a complete p plater wanker. Also should I revamp the whole system like should I put glass packs in. I've already got headers sitting in me shed which is a must have if i do say so myself so if I were to do this are glass packs the go and what ever stuff can I do to the system. Also can I get a rear lift for my old leaf springs and how impacted will my handling be? Also the attachment below is the side pips I have in mind Thanks again and I hope everyone is doing well -

'Engineered' aftermarket suspension arm failure - for an F-truck chassis in QLD - https://www.facebook.com/SouthernChassisWorks/posts/934191238502847 @deankxf - -
see the black part the T bar is bolted to, without that you'll have too much gearbox poking through the tunnel to deal with
-
i'll see if i can find a pic from @CHESTNUTXE thread for the hump, he's recently done the same job
-
yeah hump on the floor for the gearstick to clear. get an XB to XE one that screws on and it's simple all the wiring is there for a cluster swap. just add the oil sender in place of the switch on the motor

Wait so it's only partly there? Fuck me it might be a bigger job then I thought. -

She's a column manual so I'm not too worried about the hole. I'm abit tired and all so do you mean the actual hump for the transmission or something else. Sorry once again. I was thinking just cluster swap with all the gauges and that. She also doesn't have a tacho or any fancy things like that so is it going to be difficult to wire them in mainly the tacho, she's got a speedo, engine temp, fuel gauge and that's it -

Biggest issue will be the missing sheet-metal floor hump, in ur XF. They're weld in/part of the floor, with the later XE's and XF onwards. Digital dash is the easiest swap - just need the correct oil pressure sensor, and ur good. -
the auto console can fit a manual fairly easy, the manual hole is too wide i think for the T bar display panel to be fitted.
You'll need the hump fitted to the floor, XE and prior just unscrew and were available new from GT shops etc (XA to XE would be same or close enough) or drill the spotwelds off a Tbar etc one from a donor car XF
if you just want the cluster swapped (easy) just get the fairlane cluster and the oil sender from the fairlane engine and it just plugs in and works.
if you want to fit the whole fairlane dash with the trip computer etc. well, it can fit, i don't know it if plugs up to the existing engine loom without any mods(possibly would just plug and play)
