Why do i see so many EG Hatches with the angled muffler in the back? I dont get it?

I understand why they do it to the 88-91 Civic hatc because the 90 degree bend before the muffler but why on the hatch?

Just wondering.....

 

cause its m4dd tYt3 jDEEm y0!
no but really i think it looks sexy on hatches

 

Cause they like bandwagons

 

because most straight through designs like the N1 do it to keep the bends to a minimum...And plus it looks bad ***

 

Ive got the Apexi N1 on a 93' EG.
I personally like the look of the angle, its just different from everyone elses straight-out design.
Also, apexi claims it helps on the performance side. In theory I suppose it makes sense (because there is less pipe). The pipe runs straight back, under the axle, and out. As opossed to running under, curving up over the axle, and then out.

We measured the difference in length between the N1 and stock, and it was only 3-4 inches shorter, I dont know if the length makes a diff. when put to a dyno, but apexi claims it does. I personally dont care, its a-hell-of-alot better than stock, Plus i think it looks nice.

 

It's to imitate exhausts like the RS*R ExMag GT2 that has the piping run straight down the middle of the chassis with only one bend to have the muffler exit under the cutout. Hence, that's why the muffler angles toward the passenger side of the car.

 

The reason i got mine is because its the free'est flowing exhaust for a civic hatch. and it mates up perfect to my AN-R header. I run no cat, no resonators. And no i have not gotten a single ticket or pulled over for the sound of the exhaust. i have been pulled over cause the car spit out a flame and a cop was behind me. but i did it for performance. just 1 minimal bend as you can see in the picture.

 

I like the angled-tip.
Looks good

I dont know if you can see my avater, but its the only pic I have. my N1

 

what kinda setup do you have enginewise that made your car shoot flames like that??

propane injection.....in the exhaust j/k

edit
I quoted the wrong guy lol I'm so damn tired.....

 

Hahaha sumthings not right if your exhaust is shooting flames.... but I agree I love the angled look. I didn't go with it tho, I'm cheap. Magnaflow .

 

The angle tip originated on RWD cars.. particularly drift setup cars in Japan. Nothing special. Now companies make it for FWD because it looks appealining to people.

 

B16 with bolt on's Mugen ECU. Running super rich. No cats or resonators. flowing through a AN-R header to the RSR exhaust. here is the video. right click and save as. BTW sorry to jack ur thread.

Because we are cooler than others

 

oh ****! you just shot flames

lol...sounds good.

 

this is next on my list, im tired of the stock looking magnaflow anyone know a company that makes a N1 style muffler, but not as long, looking for something that is not as long as the conventional apexi N1 catback

 

I think it looks cool (not associated with it being bandwagon or jdm tyte y0) right from my own opinion and experience.

 

tsudo makes an N1. very shiney

 

in my experience with tsudos, they are raspy.
just my opinion.

My old roomate had that exhaust on his 96 hatch. The sound and quality is amazing, not to mention the performance of it.

 

well heres a pic of my 93 hatch with a apexi n1 exhaust.

The angle is different compared to my old 5zigen but im thinking of switching it out to a straight out one like a spoon n1 because i like to roll dump =P

 

Does the RS-1 or whatever, does that come angled that way?

BTW JDMLYFESTYLE your hatch is sicccck, looks real good. Any more pictures???

later and thanks

 

I want the RS*R that jdmlyfestle has, but a)Id scrape everywhere, and b) Im poor

 

my car does that also sometimes right after u shift .. i think it has something to do with having no cat. cuz i run no cat str8 pipe all the way back from the header and i shoot flames sometimes there not huge or anything but at night very noticeable.
