tilted exhaust mounting?

Is there anyway to mount the exhaust of our cars at an angle? I don't know exactly what it's called, but I see it on 240sx's all the time.

I found this pic which shows off what I'm talking about:

What do you guys think?

i saw a 300zx today with dual exhausts mounted like that, but i don't think it would look that great on our cars.

Man I HATE THAT! I see sooooo many pimp ass supra's w/ that kind of exhaust. It really as to do w/ the way the factory exhaust is piped. The factory muffler on most of these cars acually is at that angle, w/ the tips angles back out correctly. Greddy makes some exhausts for FI cars that corrects the angles as well, but soooo many people just bolt on one of these jobs. I think it's :ghey: even on a 1000hp car.

Insoyne has an angles N1. It doesn't look bad at all. I prefer the exaust coming straight out. The angled exaust is suppose to be the JDM look.

Man that looks kinda werid. I guess I am not used to it. But it does stand out I guess if u trying to show off your muffler it makes it more noticeable.

yeah, it is the style there and we thought it was cool a few years back and it got annoying and banged up so we were like screw that, his car is Fwd anyways haha

the stock design looks good, i think he may end up going back to a slightly larger dual tip muff with black canister
