yeah, i see nthign wrong with it. I know vibrant is now making black mufflers. Anyone on here can say how stupid it is but I think its about time. just helps keep it a bit more hidden as I know I get bothered in either of my hatches

I have a World Sport 2 and I'm thinking of painting the can flat black just beacuse it's so big and shiny. It reflects like mad at night and I think it's a bit of an eyesore. I would leave the tip polished though.

There has been alot of discussion about these mufflers. I'm thinkign about getting it cuz of the sleeper look and the tip is so short I dont have to worry about scratching it when Im pulling out of the driveway.
