Angle or straight?

angles look cool

Is the point of angling it just to see more chrome?

i've got an angle on mine and only reason is that less bends required with it that way and im after flow so thats they way its gonna be.

but by choice,dunno it looks alright, bit ricey in my opinion

if its anything that even remotely looks N1 style then angle it, they look ghey straight

if its a stock looking muffler then don't, uber rice

Angle looks way better in my opinion, looks weird straight and a big muffler.

Drift styles! angle it

Yeah - some random guy told me the point of getting a stainless was to put it on an angle.

I was like pfft, it will go on whatever way is best for flow man . . . ricer

Either way seems fine, although i've seen some cars with the muff on like 45+ deg angles and it looks real rude.

i know a dude who had an rps mounted at near right angle, looked mean, exited just behind the left rear wheel, under the corner of the bumper
It was on a clean white GtiR, point was that it was less bends to mount it that way cos of the way the exhaust comes round so it wasn't really mounted on an angle (crazy angle) for fashion but for function but it certainly looked the business

I think canons should be angled but ovals should be mounted straight

i think it depends on the car too, i like seeing silvias, ae's , vip's with angles, not so sure bout hondasand hatches, fwd's etc

Whatever is best for flow.

But heck, if you angle it up, does that help with some downforce??? hahahaa

yeah, but it makes the front abit light, wheelstanding?

there is this red trueno around the corner from me and it has an angled cannon that faces towards the ground and is about 15 cms fromf the ground.
I dont know if it is only temporary but it looks kinda mental

Hey have you had a proper look at that setup yet dude?? It's not angled like that for any real reason, he's taken the last bend out of the sytem sure but to do that he's had to make that 1st bend tighter instead of taking 1 and 1/2 bends out of it he's taken one out and mounted it on a real weird angle! instead of mounting it on a 45 and cutting a hole in his rear bumper! Would have looked better and saved him some money imho!

Myself i have it mounted on an angle as it improves flow quite a lot - as in loose 2 90's and replace it with one gradual less than 45 degree bend - gotta be good for you! But i pretty much think that unless you are mounting it like that to increase flow it's just rice!

theres a couple of cars here with 2 angled mufflers, ones a levin/trueno (waits to be flamed), and the others a mr2, mr2 i understand because theres feck all room under there to start with, the other just doesnt seem to look right, but his car his choice, so meh,
