As "ricer" as this may sound, I've seen a lot of cars with the angled muffler look where it slants out to one side.... is this solely for aesthetic purposes? or some other reason? does it reduce back pressure or anything? I kind of like the way it looks and am considering doing it when my new muffler arrives in the mail. - Anyone done this?

Examples:

 

1st

 

 

The bend is going to increase back pressure. I mostly imagine the angled muffler is done so that it fits the vehicle/for looks. I'd never do it so I can't say anything more than that.

 

its just for looks as far as i know and mostly considered on here at least ricey lol some of the megan and ark exhaust kits are like this but they are also well known for making mostly import exhaust systems

 

The more its angled the more horsies you get.

 

I think I heard a civic driver say that

 

I can see that happening.

 

I know, I know - I even said it's rice.... I know it doesnt add horsepower, im just looking to do something different on a Cobalt...
i havnt seen many with it, except for the first picture I posted.

So options:
A - Angled
B - Normal and recessed a little so the tip doesnt stick out way past the bumper and look gay.

 

I wouldnt call it necessarily rice, it looks good on select cars. IMO it just doesnt belong on a cobalt

 

B lol but hey its your car any pics of your car as it stands?

 

The tip tucks so nice and cleanly into the bumper on these cars, why would you want to hang it out and **** the back end of the car up?

 

B..and make sure it's an actual muffler, not a canister.

 

haha thats true but nobody ever said he has a ss

 

u guys have not a clue what ricer means... thats the sad part

 

YouTube - WHAT IS A RICER? WHAT IS RICEKILLER?

learn wtf it means ladies

 

haha i see this guy all the time in person

 

Haha u sure that's not you ting ting ?

 

Here is an old pic from behind my car. The reason the subaru guys do it is because it is a more straight through design. Since we have to go under the rear axel its easier to have it angled. If we wanted a regular one it would have 2 pretty much 90 degree bends to sit up in the stock location.

 

sup dude...i made this thread a while ago.. i dont know if u seen it but it think they look good on a cobalt https://www.cobaltss.net/forums/appe...91710/....also i think the ricer video is stupid lol

 

We actually run the angled exhaust on our 2g eclipses and 1g awd so we can straighten the exhaust back out instead of the axle jumping.

 

angled exhaust is ok if its functional. i love how the subarus look but a cobalt may look stupid

 

i think it looks great but i think the ss rear lip is ugly which probably gives people the opinion to hate it

 

The cobalt is not designed to have an angled exhaust. Now before everyone says. "oh but dude no car is but everyone does it" listen to what I'm saying (read what I'm typing). The subaru makes gains from having an exhaust like that, as already mentioned, it reduces the amount of bends in the exhaust, helping performance. Generally, Honda guys have them angled because the canisters are too big to fit straight under the ass end of the vehicle, or because they just hacked the old exhaust off and didn't fab a new one correctly. Before you go throwing an angled fart can under your car, ask yourself, what would ricers do? then slowly answer that question and run as fast as possible in the other direction!

 

^^^^ what will a ricer do? are u for real? LOL dude if u like it do it.
