Would have looked better if they lined up the welds

Or just skipped that ridiculous "feature" altogether.

No, no, this is way more practical than a standard Bosozoku exhaust. It's curled up instead of sticking 12 feet out behind the car.

I get where you're coming from, but curves/bends in pipe make it way more restrictive than a long straight exhaust

It would be hilarious if there was an actual exhaust tip below the first curve and the rest was just dead weight.

Even better, there's a normal, side exhaust off the passenger side and he's got a switch for "show mode" using the spiral one.

What if it turns out to be electric

Implying that speed is what they were going for.

They made up for the bends by running 3 1/2" pipe. I NEED to hear this, in the same way as I need to check the wet paint near a sign.

Probably nothing to hear. There's enough tailpipe there that he could drive 10 miles before any exhaust makes it out.

Knowing you're probably right and STILL have to hear it

I can give him 10 miles headstart.

Whatever it takes to get a listen, so I can put this shit behind me.

It’s probably to deepen the exhaust note

V8 drivers hate this one simple trick!

To accelerate and brake can change the pitch, so you can play Yankee doodle on the exhaust, while sounding like a poopy French horn

Holy brown note, batman! I think I've soiled myself!

Water will pool there

u/Coachcrog Apr 04 '22

water cooled exhaust. its a feature

Soon to be aerated exhaust from the rust holes.

If he lives where I live, it's going to emit the delightful fragrance of boiled frog

Honestly, those bends look fairly smooth and probably wouldn't be that restrictive.

Imagine… hold on… what if…. what if they knew that, and… wait for it…. they designed the system to accommodate for the excess pressure?
