so many issues...
first i dont mind rice if its done correctly, certain exhausts sound nice, their no big block V8 with side pipes but ive heard some nice civics heer and their, what is bad is when people do thngs half fast, like simply changing the muffler on a car, when a catback system is as easily affordable, but people just want the sound and not the performance... next NO2 is good as long as its used correctly, ie as a 50 hp boost when needed, NO2 is actualy useful because ive seen it used to super cool intercoolers, whats bad is when i see these kids paint fire extinguisers blue and rig up CO2 cartridges to spray mist like as in a purge kit... what im getting to is that all this "rice" is good as long as its real or is actualy benificiary to the cars performance
unfortunatley people "rice out" import cars most liekly for theur reliability, cheap cost and good gas mileage, but its not like american muscle hasn't received a "rice" make over ive see douzans of V6 mustangs with body kits and stuff that looks fast, but then gets destroyed with my moms 02 3.5 altima, ive seen countless transams and Z28s with underglow graphics, body kits.. its all good but the car has to beable to back it up
earlier i read about a 500hp mustang... which is true by using a 2.2in pully, full exhaust, and diablo racing chip... but at 3800 pounds that mustangs fat ass wont beat a 12 second quarter, so hp is nothing cause a civic with 400hp would prolly b faster...
also a 03+ mustang cobra would get dogged by a supra, and even if the mustang could run 8 seconds 1/4s its in funny car form with a lightened body, guted interior, gets like 1 mile to the gallon and is totaly unstreetable, whereas the same say supra is a daily driver...
www.t04r.com has some of the worls fastest street driven supras
fyi i just bought my first car, took to years of saving.. its a black 95 honda accord ex coupe 2door and stick, the car is a blast and is great for 95000 miles i wanna get pics up but i gotta do some minor body work first, and because this car is to get me to highschool my jr year and sr year i would prolly only mess around with my stock exhaust, not to make it louder just deeper, any1 know how i could do this?
