what you think of exhaust like this?
Photoshopped.

Choice C... It's o.k., but. . .

hmmm... I agree w/ NSX-Racer that it's not bad 'as-is' but not "rice or nice." :smile:

It looks alot like the Maranello exhaust (two canisters each w/ a single oval'ish tip). I think it will look "nice" w/ the 02+ rear valance. That is a must-buy now, or atleast Dali's carbon-glass Mugen replica if you don't want to use the stock 91-01 rear valance (which I think would look "nice" as well). :cool:
 
btw before you plan on doing an exhaust like that are you sure that you can configure and fit mufflers in alignment with the car?? Rather than horizontal whereas its rather tight under the rear end... either way im not sure just wanted to make sure you figure this out before you make your mind up.

I will have to cut away the black part of the rear valence to make room for the muffler. I saw a Car done that way in HyperRev Magazine.. It looks good. like a milder look to the Racing CF diffusers.
 
The canisters look huge.....I think it's too much.

I want a 3rd choice: Neither rice nor nice (i.e.: not that bad)


I agree. I like the look but I think it would be better with a rear diffuser. Therefore I can not vote.
 
Thanks for the candor

Another Photochop.

Axis Milano wheels are chopped in also. They really dont fit in real life. Wheels dont clear the brakes.

Hey fkong777,

I have something very similar to what you are trying to photoshop.

It would look better if you paint the muffler black and keep the tips chrome.

I like that look but with a oval canister... :biggrin:
 
If you have to do it, I think the round canisters look better.

Kevin. What size Outlet tip is that? Looks Hot.. Love that diffuser and intercooler.
 
the exhaust tips are magnaflow 4" tips on thermal mufflers

the front half of the intercooler is exposed tho the air via a little (but highly effective) lip on the front of the taitec diffuser. Since they are straight pipes all the way to the back block, the intercooler has about 6-12 inches of room from the exhaust pipes

the only pipe that is really affected by the heat of the exhaust would be the inlet pipe into the inter/aftercooler. this would eventually get cooled by the intercooler
