I just wanted to get your guy's opinion about the positioning of the mufflers. Do you guys think the mufflers pointed sideways looks like rice-o-roni? I seen it on a couple FD's and had mixed feelings.

Personally I think the angled exhaust looks good on RX7's, gives the exhaust an agressive look. Granted it has become somewhat of a 'rice' look on some hondas.

The real purpose of the 'N1' Style exhaust is to reduce bends in the piping, but it has become more of a trendy thing.

Best example I could find was in this 240sx exhaust. (couldnt find any of a 7's exhaust side by side)

Thanks for the reply, the only, lol. I think I can agree that it would inhibit, flow of the exhaust, but I aint really after a 600hp rotary. I just wanted to get some ideas.

I think the angled look is best suited for cannister style exhausts, and the straight look is best for the muffler style exhaust.

Angled (mitch, i'm gonna use your car if you dont mind )





straight






I really cant pick a favorite, they both look great on FD.

Mitch529

I quite agree! Geez those pics remind me of how bad I need to get new suspension lol.

ROTORhead93

actually, i think your car sits just fine and looks great.

nd its pics like these that should remind you to get that headlight cover painted.

bah i can't see any of your pics rotorhead...

To me sideways exhaust is like wearing your hat cool gangsta sideways. It kind of looks cool but it's just like "no".

Mitch529

HAHAH lmfao, I actually have an appointment to get it painted on the 25th of this month. I will have to get some new pictures.

straight out the back. the whole sideways thing looks corny IMO.

Always have liked the sidways look, so i bought a cheap apexi n1

KCflyer

well it depends. Does his car have a aftermarket bumper?

Mitch529

IMO canister style mufflers look very stupid straight. Reminds me of those hondas that put the ractive 'canister' style exhausts on that aim straight and down lmao.

I also like when the muffler points up just a tad like ^blacksupra's pic above^. The muffler on my FB is just flat and boring.......lol

Keep it stright in line with the car lines. I really do not like angled ones, they seem out of place at least that is my opinion.

AntiVenom7

I will reenter my vote for straight. I have seen very few cars where the angle muffler looks good even with body kits. but hey thats just my 2 cents.

RotaryRyan

i dont care. blacksupras pics looks mean!

blacksupra94

Thanks, now only if she'll run mean, i'll be set.

IMO, smaller tip dual exhausts look better coming out straight, large singles, sideways.

Exactly what i said. Cannisters might not look as good straight back like the rb dual tip, but try and picture an rb dual tip sideways. Only cannister style exhausts look good that way. Each exhaust has its own distinct look.

Is the Greddy Ti angled or not? Any good pics of it installed? From what I remember its angled...=/ not sure tho

Skiles2070

personally I think a car should be balanced, the car should look the same on both sides. exhaust should be dual!

ROTORhead93

The greddy Ti is angled. Here are some pics.
