I still think there is some difference between fake aluminium add ons attached to an original muffler and a cool carbon fiber or at least proper better flowing muffler or complete exhaust system if it looks rice it's not its fault LOL.. it because the world is full of tasteless idiots wich are casting a shadow over "proper" tuning

Lets not forget the ricer driving position- one hand at 12 o'clock on the steering wheel and a raised shoulder.

Must be the only stock Mk2 'teg left in the whole of the US. It'll be worth a fortune soon, that will.

Thats because the seat mounts have eroded cuz of da big bass, innit?

And my own observation of ricers - an exhaust (muffler) can large enough for hedgehogs to make their homes in...

no matter what you say its rice, as the tailpipe is twice the diameter of the pipe going to the box, so it isnt doing anything to increase power, but just making the sound louder

"Dude"
"whats up dude"
"my car aint starttinnn"
"dude check air filter man"
"naahhh man, you think it can be the air filter????*says with a frightend voice*
"I think so bro"
"aiiint,, lemme poke it"
"its not working dude!"
"fuck man......send to shop man".......

Haha I have to have my seat almost as far back as it goes because of my height and shoe size! But my hands are at 9 and 3, so I'm safe.

As for the Integra, its a 4 door too, which is even rarer .
I lied too, its not entirely stock, my dad owned this car since it was new and had to replace the original dual tip muffler. He replaced it with a shitty single tip because it was cheaper.

It looks a lot better on the evo than the subaru. It looks almost stock because I can't see the whole thing.

yeah looks better on the evo cause the evos cutout is bigger and the exhaust fills it perfectly, the subie doesnt have a big cutout, so it looks like its just dangling out there waiting to be rammed into a parking block
