Pics of my angled exhaust... Haters welcome.

Well, it didn't come out how i wanted it to at all. it kinda looks limp, i wanted it to be angled facing up more up, like this



but for some reason, the way i held it when the guys were putting it on ended up at less of an angle. so i think i might have them put another bend in the piping or something to achieve that look. oh well. heres the pics of how it currently sits. not keeping it like this, i dont think. yeah, i know i need to lower it again.





blahhh, lemme know what you think, i'm a little dissapointed. it sounds beauuutiful tho, not too loud, not tin canish at alllll... a nice deep rumble, Apex'i, baby

it just doesn't look right to me =/. I think it's cause the cutout in the evo bumper is much larger than the CL.

props for trying something new though. I bet it sounds great

it's a big 'ol fart can. IMO it doesn't fit right... kinda like a huge lump that doesn't seem to fit. But yea.. i'm sure it sounds deep and mean!

if you stand behind it you can see the angle.. but from the sides you can barely tell.

Congrats either way

why would you do that. its meant to happen on cars where there is no clearance due to suspension and it has to be that way.

beacause i like the style. kthxbye.

yeah it doesnt look angled at all i dont get why when it was up in the air at the exhaust shop and i was holding it for them it looked so much more angled... i'll probably get it redone, i had a new flange put on the piping so i could take off the can and throw my stock shit back on in like 5 minutes, cuz i knew this would happen

oh, and it's not the suspension that people do that for. its to make less bends in the exhaust system.

You know... I never understand why people say stupid things like "Haters welcome" and then get pissy when someone says they dont like it, (which I incidently didnt say). Also, I am right as to why people do that, but its whatever. Im sure you would know more about it than me. O and I like that picture in your avatar. The sky makes a sick background for your car.

I've always been a fan of the drift spec exhaust style (angled) I think it has a different more aggressive look!!

Props!!!!

the reason it looks better on the evo and not your car, is because the evo's bumper has a groove in it to make it look very... comfy and fit like a glove. yours is not, so it looks ghey

Gotta love that Apexi exhaust, tho- the anti rice of after market exhaust for our cars. I'm curious how much you paid for that setup?- mine came with the car

that doesnt really make much sense i hope you know. some cars without a swap or turbo actually do benefit from exhausts. not our cars obviously.

So What if I swapped an f23 in a in a civic could I get an exhaust then?

Or is there any difference?

It's only nessesary if your boostin!!! Thats where youll see the best Gains!

And the less bends the better, hints the Custom N1 Drift Spec Style Exhaust.

Props for bein different, but def seems like it's not the look you were going for which I think is part of the reason you and others don't like it, try again and let us see. And lower that 4x4 again! Props for trying something original on the CL though Can't wait to see it after you get the desired angle you're lookin for, like others said, doesn't look that bad from the side. Plus, the bumper groove, a rear lip may help that problem

headers and exhaust here.

i like it, i dont see the problem with it.. u think its ricey or somethin?

a drop with tuner rims and a paint job w/ stock exhaust is not complete.

i think its very necessary when building a show-quality car

yeah, i only paid $100 for the Apexi can, so i just had to pick it up. i might be going in the shop again this week to reangle it, but i dont even know... i spent all day with my friend with a WRX wagon and he has the same can on his... it looks so much different... im not really feelin how it goes with our trunk either, but i dunno... maybe i'll get it reangled or something.. or just sell it.

heres his wagon, btw. sorry the pics blow hard, i didnt know my ISO was so high.

no not at all, i just personally feel more obligated to get an exhaust if it really calls for it, just mainly cuz i want some function with my form you know...

definitely not ricey if done well, dont get me wrong exhausts are as essential are wheels or lip kits/body kits, just that some people put them on for the wrong reason (ie civics and corollas with cut springs and n1 fart cans )

it was just stupid. i bought them with like all the money i had to my name, and i literally had no $ in my pocket and it would have been like that for 2 weeks. so my friend with a CD accord bought em off me literally like 2 days after i put them on... oh well, at least i got a good pic out of it

im gonna save up at least a $500 cushion before i buy more shit... im reangling and polishing the can tomorrow because i think since it was flat blacked by the previous owner, it looks dull as fuck, that might add to the gheyness factor...

I dunno why an angled exhaust would be such a commodity, it kinda looks like shit IMO. I'm not trying to put you down but I wouldn't want the muffler to be the focal point of my car.
