Oz it looks great, its barely bent at all. It depends on why people have them bent. If they just have a muff its rice. If they have a really nice fast car and its to stop extra bends then its not rice. Just like big wheels. If you have big brakes and you NEED THE BIG BRAKES AND WHEELS TO FIT them its not rice.

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (fonseca @ Jul 27 2006, 12:04 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>^^ Key words: "SHOW OFF". As in show but no go. nana.gif Yeah I'm a hater, because every riced out Civic, and the occasional Neon and Eclipse, does that. And it's the ONLY "performance" mod they usually do. Muffler sticking out like a crooked car phallus, with a tip so big you could put your fist in it, and the famous BRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!! that sounds like a fart broadcast from a megaphone. RICE. It's sticky.</div>

why would the angle of mount in your exhaust have anythin to do with go? you have no clue what your talking about. how is a 30degree angle going to hurt the flow of exhaust. its like saying that your car will seriously slow down if u had to vere to the right 30degrees. and just because the gay kids in your town all do this and YOU hate it, dosent mean that everyone everywhere does this.I CHOOSE THAT BECAUSE ITS WHAT I THINK LOOKS TIGHT ON MY CAR.

take your hate elsewhere and get a life kid, dont worry bout what i do

The more bends the worse. thats why youll always see exhaust from Apexi, HKS, etc are always slanted. less bends. its not to show off fart cans its for better efficiency.

yes the more bends the worse but your talking about 45degrees or more of bend will affect flow, but smaller degrees will not affect preformance at all. and just to put my money where my mouth is, i wish someone would try to prove to me that u loose power by cockin your muffler with only a small degree of diffrence.

so if anyone can prove this i'll bet 10 bucks on it. bring the dyno sheets or even video, but i bet u cant prove that small degrees will hurt your power owned.gif

Going from stock to a stainless steel catback might net you 3-5 hp throughout the powerband if the stock exhaust was in decent shape. One bend isn't going to make that much of a difference on a N/A 4 cylinder motor.

Let the guy point the muffler the way he wants to LOL.
