I have a Xenon rear on my sedan, and am debating getting dual exhausts. But just the other day I heard that some people mold their license plate into their second exhaust cut out. Has anyone ever seen or heard of this before?

first off let me help you.




Do not get dual exhaust. It is pointless, does not add hp, you loss back pressure, and you run the risk of melting your fuel line.

Second off let me help you again.


Don't even think of molding your licences plate into there. Don't do it at all. I personally think it looks gay in any other spot besides where it is suppose to go. And many others would call it rice.

the license plate thing is dumb. it has a spot already, why give it another? it'll look dumb w/out having anything in the spot where the plate SHOULD go.

and about the melting a the fuel line.... absolutely right. i checked w/the guy who welded on my exhaust, and he said its possible (duh, we see some who have them), but he said there is just the big risk of melting your fuel line....

i'd rather not take that risk, and lose the big gains... oh wait! there are NO gains.... wouldnt take the risk

wow. you just saved me five minutes of my life.

EXACTLY.

dual exhaust is pointless, therefore is rice.
molded licensce plate also pointless, therefore rice.

whoa, calm down people, I was just asking if anyone has ever seen this, and it sure looks like you gave ur opinions about it.

but while were on the topic of rice. do you think that spending $800 on a so called "performance" exhaust to gain like 5hp could also be called "rice".

I've never seens an exhaust that cost $800 for our cars. and if someone pays that much for one, they are retarted.

mine was $200, but we weren't really being mad or yelling at you, we were trying to help you. Plus you will pay more money if you get dual exhaust that hurts your numbers. So in your theory that would be rice. Plus the licence plate thing is all ugly a$$ show and no go, which is the worst rice of all. There is all show and no go, then ugly A$$ show and no go.

I seen dual exhuast on Civics that have the cut out in the back for the 2 pipes and it looks sick. I have the Xenon full kit and I'm definatly getting dual exhaust in the spring. This guy around my area also has a Xenon kit on his Civic and he has that single 4 inch muffler and it just doesnt flow with the Xenon rear, frankly it just looks goofy.

Don't let these rice boys tell you that "dual exhuast on a Civic is pointless" because they prolly don't think for them themselves and are just following the "function over style" trend.

Its true that you do lose some power with the dual exhuast but its a freakin Civic..... who cares. If you are going for looks then definatly get the dual exhaust.

One more thing. The real and the new riceboys are the ones who spend 400 dollars for a "performance" exhaust and then go around bragging that they only care about performance when that 400 dollars got them a 2 hp gain. The guys who drive stick shift cars and brag about it are also riceboys and there are pelnty of these poeple on this site.

So, if you are going for looks DEFINATLY get dual exhaust with the Xenon kit cuz it will look sick.

I don't feel that it looks right. I mean no 4 banger should have dual exhaust, I feel that you should only consider dual exhaust when you have 2 headers on a V6, V8, etc.

Plus why would you want to lose power and make the car heavier? Even if people do pay $400 for a "performance exhaust" it sounds better and it does give some gain. Any gain is good gain to me.

Our cars are too small to have dual exhaust, to me it is straight rice.

^^^^^So the dual exhaust on the S2000 doesn't look good to you?

Its all about what you want. If you like it, get it. Also just a FYI, with a turbo kit back pressure doesn't matter so a dual exhaust setup will not hurt performance. But thats another story. LOL

As you probably know our cars are slow as hell and frankly I would rather spend money to make the car look tight (ie dual exhaust because my body kit has the cut outs)

since I cant afford to dish out like 4 grand for a turbo to actaully make some NOTICIBLE gains I just spend money once in a while to enhance the looks

now the thing that has been irking me lately is the "riceboy" trend shifting over to people who try sooo hard not to fall into the riceboy catigory and just get "performance" parts.

"performance" parts like an exhuast are very common but is it really worth spending like 400 bucks on an exhuast that practically has no gains. You are basically spending 400+ bucks on a noise maker to make your car SOUND fast which is even worse then trying to make a car look fast.

performance parts that actually do give you noticile gains are very expensive (ie turbo, engine swap, n2o) and very risky so most people dont have them.

if you call someone a riceboy because they are making thier car look good and you are spending money on things like exhaust and then brag about how you ONLY spend money on "performance" parts then you are as guilty of rice as the next guy.

So I am rice for wanting functionality? How am I following a trend? I do want to here this. It is pointless unless you are going for show, but if you are going for show you might as well go all out and fiberglass your whole interior spend $10k on ice and carbon fiver your whole exterior. But it looks like crap when you know you lose back pressure. And if you want to add another oh 25 pounds to your already heavy body kit go right ahead. Come to dallas and lets race. Thats how you settle that one.

Im sick of hearing this rice crap. We all drive civics for god sakes. if you want performance.do a K20 swap or get another car. Im tired of hearing it. The only reason to have a civic is to make it look good.

Look at it this way, you put 10 grand under the hood(thats what it will take to get some decent power).k20 swap, turbo , whatever. For that price tag, you could get an evo or better yet, a wrx, that would wax that modded civics ***.

I hear alot of people saying body kits are rice. BULL! I have a body kit, installed it myself. So for all of you that are into the weight loss thing.....I can tell you that body kits arent rice, especially if it fiberglass. My fiberglass Bomex front and rear weighs substancially less than my urethane bumpers.

What im trying to say is this "Rice" crap needs to go. Especially in a civic forum. The only real reason to own a civic and mod it is to make it look good.

Go for the Dual exhaust dude, it looks sick. Then all these people who say that and body kits and rims are rice can come see your car win trophys at home while they dump $1000 in cold air intakes and headers and cat back exausts and gain that big 5 HP.

Please point out where I said that if you go for functionality over look then you are rice. I said that if someone claims that they only get "performance" that consists of only of an exhuast and intake and then BRAG about it, then that is rice. I respect people who dont like body kits and huge rims but I dont respect idiots who spend like 500 bucks on an exhuast and claim that if you spend money on looks only then you are a rice boy.

"How am I following a trend? I do want to here this".[/QUOTE]

Did I mention YOU specifically? What I said in my post was probably something that relates to you and thats why you ASSUMED that I was talking to you in particular.

"It is pointless unless you are going for show, but if you are going for show you might as well go all out and fiberglass your whole interior spend $10k on ice and carbon fiver your whole exterior."[/QUOTE]

I wish I had 10k to spend on my car to go all out but I dont. I added somethings such as a body kit, rims, nice system and my car look clean. When I get more money I will definatly invest it to make the car look even better.

As for you, I sure hope your car has a nice little engine in it or turboed atleast if you want to start saying things like "why dont you go all out and spend 10k on the interior" to me when you don't have **** done to your own car.

"But it looks like crap when you know you lose back pressure." [/QUOTE]

Uhmm, I did not know that losing back pressure car look like crap. But did you know that if you repaint your car it will sound like crap?


"And if you want to add another oh 25 pounds to your already heavy body kit go right ahead".[/QUOTE]

Why would I not add that 25 pounds? Do I race my car? Nop. Do I care that my car is slow as hell the way it is? Nop, its got a stock engine with no modifications.

"Come to dallas and lets race. Thats how you settle that one." [/QUOTE]

^^ This comment made me think that you are some 14 year old kid who has no car because we both know that I'm not going to come to Dallas and race you. If you do have a car, I'm sure it can beat mine in a drag race because I got a heavy system and heavy rims that make my slow @ss car even slower.

But if I do come to Dallas, can I race you in my friends 395 whp Camaro?

^^ thats how dumb you sounded when you asked me to come to Dallas....

and I could not agree with TunedNCivic more. Atleast some people realize that we drive a freakin Civic and the only thinkg MOST of us can do is make it look hot as hell. I do not have like 8 grand for an engine swap but i do have 1200 bucks for a kick @ss body kit and 800 bucks for some good looking rims.

guys no point in arguing in this thread. The opinions were given on the addressed question at hand. People are gonna feel differently about the "rice" topic.

rice is an opinon. I know so many people who think putting ANY money into a car is pointless, even if just upgrading the speakers. I used to be really into paintball, and a lot of people thought that was a waste of money. What you have to learn in life is that everyone has their niche. Find your interest, and go with that. If you like the way your car looks, why do you care what other people think? Just like some people don't like rice, I don't like domestics. But I don't go around preaching it. Everyone has a different opinion, and you need to respect that.

Secondly, look at the first post. How far off topic has this thread gotten? And to bring back the quote that I love, "arguing on the internet is like winning the special olympics. You're still retarted." (or something like that). Give it a rest guys, and respect people's interests and opinions.

BTW, I think dual exhausts look hot, but too much money and not enough funcionality for me.

I like how people all say that our cars are slow, and that it is too expensive to make them quick. However if you spend even $1000 on a body kit most are more than that, and a decent set of rims and tires are $1500, that is damn near a turbo. So to me people that put the kits on have the money to make them quick.

It is your deal if you want it slow or fast, I am just stating what I feel is more cost effective. Personally I don't like people that have a sick looking car that would get spanked by say a Toyota Corolla. Talk about embarassing.

So both sets of people spend the same kind of money for different reasons.

Btw a turboed civic would wax a wrx sorry to say buddy. A stock Wrx is lucky to run a 14.2 with an excellent driver. So with a wrx that costs $24000, you could have a civic that would put it to shame everyday of the week. Personally I would like to have a sleeper with a civic because its more of a suprise to someone when they get beat by a civic.

So please know your stats before saying a wrx would wax a modded civic, if done right the civic would wax the wrx.

And the thing with Rice, people just need to drop that word, because we all own the same cars so technically we are all rice, we all own an import car that is slow, cheap and easy to mod whether it be performance or appearence. So fvck the work Rice
