I like the way the straight exhausts look, but its just an opinion.

it doesn't make a difference.

and if you're going to dump your car, there's less clearance with a slanted exhaust

slant is for high horsepower turbo cars
j/k. i like slanted, but my apex'i N1 is friggin huge. I'm about to go custom 3" all the way back, and probably go above the rear lower control arm for better ground clearance.

I liked slanted, I had my Apexi N1 catback for over a year, I finally fukked it up bad and got this done this past weekend, I have more clearance with this than the n1.......flows great, lots of high end but no low end cuz I have a test pipe, cat to go in really soon and we'll see how it sounds....

I like the look of the Straight exhaust setup, mostly because it looks like a Tanabe on the hatch that is pictured.
