Best "LOOKING" Exhaust????

Hey, im looking into getting an exhaust system for my vic, probably a Catback system. But im not one to care about horsepower increase or anything. All i care about are looks, sound is another thing, but thats not a big deal either. So in your opinion, what is the best looking Exhaust for a EX coupe?? and if you have a picture that would help alot. Oh yeah, i will not be putting a body kit on my car. so it will need to look good without it.

Thanks!!!!

IMO TCS is the worst looking. now dont get mad satinsilver. cheevdawg, my point is, this type of post is useless. one person's gold is another's dirt. go find pics of different exhausts, and YOU decide. its YOUR car. only you can decide what looks good for you. comprende?

Understood, but instead of sitting on the computer here for an hour looking through the members rides i figured it would be much easier to get opinions of people in the forums, and if they help me then fine, if not, fine again. but i do understand what you mean.

I think going with a Borla muffler (which doesn't have a huge-*** opening) and custom piping would be the best. I hate the look of a huge muffler. Maybe an RSX-S muffler if you could get your hands on one.

You should probably go with the aggressive canister style, so get the Tanabe Super Racing Medallion, Skunk2 Mega Power, 5zigen Fireball, Invidia, RS*R GT series, or Injen Super SES exhaust. I am not sure if all of these are out yet, they all look really nice.

axel back is short piping that goes to the back axel of the car. a catback goes to the end of the cat....its not hard to comprehend. and well if you dont know what a muffler is then you need to be shot.

I love the Greddy Evo. Looks good, sounds good. The only thing is my car is mad low and it scrapes all the time and it makes that rumbling noise from under the car in the rain.

Does the Tanabe do that???

The Thermal R&D exhaust for our cars has the oval shape and i think its one of the best looking and best sounding. They stopped producing the cat back though, i'm not sure if they still make just the muffler.

Tanabe RSpec IMO looks great, its got that slightly angled canister and the whole stainless steel thing really looks good once its polished and all washed.
