I bet that muffler really lets the air move when connected to that 1 inch pipe. Ever swat aimlessly in the air while driving thinking there's a swarm of bees in the car?

No I don't have a 1 inch pipe because they were all replaced before my cat back and after it.....idiot
 
alright, /thread....if you have anything else to say...please feel free to PM me and DaTT if you still wanna see the pic PM me

I notice that you got on someone for name calling earlier...yet here you are name calling yourself...

so how much HP you got how much torque...have you hit triple digits yet. You know that if you put big stickers on your car you'll gain 15% horsepower per sticker.

You all should stay away from cars.

This coming from a guy who drives a Civic with a fart can....... :roll:

College student, can't afford a G35 or a 3 series. Unless you have heard my exhaust then don't make any assumptions.

They all sound bad......some of them even worse. Especially the ones with the awsome "BuZZZZZZzZZzzZzzZZzZZZZZzZzZzZzZzZZZ" under heavy acceleration.

I have not heard your exhaust, no. But I assume your car has 4 cylinders? Then I pretty much know what it sounds like.

So it's all about cylinders? S2000 has 4 cylinders too. You know what? So does an STi or EVO.
:roll:

If you wanna try and be funny then PM me. I've never been an ass to any of you guys before, so why the sudden hostility. I might as well assume all the african americans in this forum steal cars and rape women, and all the asian people eat pets. No different than what's happening here....

As for the name calling....I think I'm justified to call most of you assholes.

just wondering what kind of numbers your car put out. Horsepower and torque-wise. Sorry about the joke, but my old roommate had a rice rocket...2001 honda civic with a faux dual exhaust...it was pretty bad...so do you have those numbers? I'll tell you mine if you tell me yours

As I have said, I have never put my car on a dyno so I am not certain. You know why? Because civics are slow as hell. There would be no point. Especially since I don't race it. I would assume it would be around 135 hp now. I haven't claimed my car to be MAD FAST or any of that. But you know what pisses me off, the fact that because my exhaust looks like those damn ebay ones that it must rattle and buzz like a coffee can. I don't mod my car to make it a lot faster. Just funner to drive around since it is my DAILY DRIVER. Better handling, better response around corners, deeper sound, and better looks. My headers are meant for my mid range, which is what we normally drive at.

My car has none of that rice BS so shut up. It looks pretty much stock except that it's only 1.5" lower, wheels and exhaust.....That being said, anyone else that wants to comment about how I should add stickers or cut my springs. Save it.

I'm sorry for the comments I made, I assumed you to be much like my roommate and 95% of the other rice owners I know, but I was wrong. oh, and good luck with the new rims.

They DO look like steelies, and yes, steelies can come in larger sizes than 15". They are TOO black on your black car. There's no "pop" to them whatsoever.

I know they come in more sizes (diff cars). But mine are 14" stock.

alright

Slips

Steelies

:thumbsdown:

same? (besides that they are both black)

The problem is your pictures are too dark.
 
Gunmetal + black= way better.

Black on black just ends up looking wacky, unless they are very large and have a very awesome gloss or a metallic tint. Also, thicker 5 spokes don't look so great. Maybe thinner multispoke that accents the brake rotors, and you can really spice it up if you paint your calipers red.

Rotas are nice. I'm looking at getting some Subzeros for my car. I'll probably just run 225/50/16s on them since I'd like to keep weight down.

Too bad those 4 bangers would smoke your mustang....straightaway and def. on a track.

STi for sho'.....but not so much the other 2.....and we are talking stock right? Mine's not so stock.

Sorry but regular steel rims painted black looks almost the same.
 
Dood that looks ugly. Sorry. BTW, if you get new rims/tires, and take pictures, try taking an up close picture of it, no one cares about your car.

BTW, it's kinda funny - I just got YK520's on two of my wheels as well today. I have YK420's on the rear. Good tire, I like it. It's not a performance tire and they have a tendency to wear out very fast if you run them hard, so I wouldn't try doing rice burner ****** in your rice burner.

I'll make a mental note next time not to post anything car related on a tech forum full of nerds who think CYLINDER #>>>>.... I'll bet my money on a 4 banger subie over a mustang v8 that handles like a brick any day.
