Just a thought.

I think the mod looks good to me - I could care less what others think.
Besides - couldn't the same be said with the modding of 06 bi-xenons to have a halo ring/angel eyes (ccfl or whatever?). it definitly looks nice - but is there another purpose besides looks that it serves that i am unaware of?
just a thought.

Hmmm.... Well... I'm doing this mod over the weekend and will post pics. I have an HKS dual. This is the pic that convinced me it would look good with a dual exhaust... Plus I saw this mod in person on AJ's car when I was at Performance Factory, and thought it looked good even with his open dumps...
I don't see the rice with this style of dual exhaust.... Maybe it's just me though...

I do appreciate the opinions, that's what this forum is about. I know it's a mixed bag of opinions on the look with the stock-style exhausts, and even with the true duals.
There is a benefit as said earlier in this thread of cutting down on the drag, the center section could act like a parachute. I don't track my car, nor do I feel I drive fast enough to feel the effects of drag. My motivation for doing this as stated in my first post was for a FREE fix to a torn plastic tab that holds the center section. this torn tab was allowing the center section to flap at higher speeds, which I think looked more "rice" or "ghetto" or whatever word you want to use. I also think this mod is more suited to single exit or true duals, but I took a chance and I don't think it looks bad at all.

It is a sad state of affairs indeed.
