Default BOSO

This post will probably get alot of mixed comments, but I'm kinda want to bring a little bit of an oldschool theme to my EP. In the 80's this exhaust was popular with mostly drift cars but I've seen it on a few DA's and EF's. It's called boso or bosozuku exhaust or something like that. I probably won't do it because it seems a little over the top but what would you think if you saw this on an EP. Not as tall/long as this one but maybe like a foot up. It's not gonna hurt my feelings what ever negative comments you say, I'm just curious.

lol. What happens when it rains or snows? Besides the obvious looks issue, I don't think it's pratical for a daily driver. Do DTM's if you feel that you must have a different looking exhaust.

most people mod their cars to try to make it look better, but that simply looks ugly.

It's kinda funny when someone brings something out of the ordinary to the table haha. I'm not planning on doing it. I do like oldschool style but, I'm not that into it. I wanted to see reactions to something crazy.

Damn, I guess having anything more than a lip on a honda on this forum is too crazy mehh.

Bozo styled older cars are really cool josh, I enjoy them as well, and the whole bozo scene. Idk what would work good with the ep3, but maybe low offset rims, and some bozo pipes, not as tall as that 240 but yeah.

Here's some inspiration.






lol here is some hardcore bozoku!

If you like old school so much, getting an EP3 was bad choice on your part.

I think they call it BOZO for a reason.

Inspiration? Are you a f***ing retarded douche bag??? This tire is not safe on this rim! It is not a style, it is the driver being ignorant with suspension technology.

Are you kidding me? Stretched tires are as safe as normal, its just the people who dont know how to drive with them.

i have one....



boso-zoku "violent running-gang" have been around since the late 70's, the point is to be as loud and noticeable as you can, to **** off the cops {if you live in japan} but, here in the u.s...... well i did it more as a joke or to have fun...... you can't take it to seriously. yes! i know it look crazy or "sh**y" but, i hate the cookie cutter Hondas as well. it's cool for people to see your EK or EF and say " damn that's clean! " but it's also fun to hear "WTF!!!!!!" you should try it some time.
