I think he's saying don't angle it unless yours already comes angled, like our HKS Hi Power's.

You have forgotten that MOST of our angled exhaust come that way from whoever we buy from, a la HKS. We would NEVER think about just angeling it for looks.

The funny thing is some of you will pay 500 for the rear section of the exhaust and gain nothing but decibles. And others will spend 60 bux for a muffler run 2 1/4 or 2 1/2 catback pipe and you still have the nerve to flame them. If you ask me running half an exhaust system is the (rice).

Wow, did you read my disclaimer of (and I don't call it btw)? Apparently not. Please, before you try to criticize someone get your facts straight. Varner is a fellow member of mine and I would never call him rice. Also you seemed to miss the part where I saw "don't flame me I'm not saying you're doing this lol. Yeah, so take a chill pill, and find a new forum to antagonize people.

Oh and btw, where did I mention that you should leave it stock. I said the muffler he bought didn't come angled, THAT's why. Also now I see his reason... that he HAS to because of the body/lipkit. Damn I'm tired of n00b members comming in thinking they run this place. Learn your spot on the food chain.

No **** if it came angled I don't have a problem, and if it didnt I don't have a problem, as I said before. I was giving reasons why OTHERS felt that way, dizzam.

I never said that you came right out and said he should leave it stock but if you call "making it look like something its not" rice..... your civic came with a diff. exhaust so that makes you a ricer because it didn't come that way.. you changed it from the original (that was your foot in the mouth statement).... and btw "we" includes you so your disclaimer "see thats what we might call (and i don't call it btw)" kinda contradicts itself.... we think your an idiot for that (but i don't think so).... by the way n00b is a relative statement, posts don't mean anything, although you are way cooler and know much more than me (i also heard you were a world wide legend) because you post so much now i know what i wanna be like when i grow up

Well most real race cars tend to have as little exhaust piping as legally possible.

The point of the angled exhaust is to have the fewest possible bends in the pipe. The exhaust tunnel on cars like Evos, WRXs, supras and those other cars you see with the slanted exhausts, is near the center of the car. So you make one bend, run it to the bumper cut out and you end up with the angled muffler.
Now on the other hand, if you stick your head under your car, the exhaust tunnel basically runs in line with the bumper cut out. So you're actually ADDING an unnecessary bend to the exhaust, which is contradictory to the point of its function.
So basically, in the true definition of it where it adds questionable appearance and hinders function, yeah, its rice.
