to lure the haters?

 

its just for looks.

 

theoretically it helps to get the fumes away from the car better....that way if youre stopped or reversing they wont get blown into your face as easily.....

but i like the slanted look......

yeah me 2....any pics of the 4th gens with slanted exhaust?

 

well for the jackasses, thats exactly why i wanted to know. i didn't see why someone would modify the factory location of the exhaust but if it had a purpose then maybe i should know about it. thanks for the positive/helpful replies.

 

I think they are slanted to help keep them from scraping on the ground . Say your backing out or driving our of a slanted drive way and if the tip of the muffler is slanted up your less likely to scrape it in the ground.

This is my theory behind it: The stock exhausts usually sit up higher and dont stick out as much as the aftermarket ones do.

 

i always thought that the theory was that the slant, derived from racing exhaust that had less bends
that choke the flow of the exhaust ie: shoot out the side
