Huh?
Mine has never looked anything like that. There's a huge difference between putting a big dragon on the side of your car and a car kit ala Need for Speed's custom car creator, and making your car look like a real life rally car that you grew up idolizing. On top of that, I have, and will continue, to do many performance mods. If all I did was put a new muffler on my car and paint it like the Hondas you think I'm like, then you could call me a hypocrite.
Proof in point. My car doesn't sound like it's farting with a high pitched whiny sound (like the Hondas you assume I am like), and my car doesn't make teenagers cream their pants (like the box shaped, low horsepower loving people you think I'm like).
I made my car because it's something I've always wanted since I've seen it on tv, in magazines and in old video games, and will continue to make it closer and closer and closer as the years go on and the money for the project grows. I can guarantee your inspiration and thought process in creating yours was not the same as mine. There is nothing wrong with your car, but we do not run on the same philosophy here.

Castrol... I can see where you have the right to question honda owners with 95 horsepower cars and a giant exhaust... but errr... how is that car in the image you posted different from yours? Having had a celica with a huge yellow dragon decal on both sides... I am fairly certain that that honda's owner operated on same principle as you and I did... did he not?
This is what my old celi used to look like with similar type decal

>I have a philosophy with cars, and I think it's true...always (and why I hate ****ty hondas):
The noise from your car when you accelerate should come from your engine, not your ass. If your car is roaring down the highway,
. If your car is farting down the highway,

I'm still saying the Vibrant Ultra Quiet unit. Traditional resonator or not - it smooths the tone out and sounds very nice. Many race applications take twoN1-style straight-through mufflers and put them in-line for the exact same effect. I believe this very same arguement tried to take off in the Official Exhaust Thread, and it was shot to pieces. Having owned a custom exhaust with a Vibrant muffler, and then a complete Vibrant catback on my WRX with the very same Ultra Quiet Resonator, I will say that it is hands down an excellent product, and that is why I will continue to push their products.

Actually, thats not what the argument (if you want to call it that) was about. Im pretty sure it started off as that, but wound up being about the word "implied". And to top it off, got way off subject. But, 95 there did show me an application of the two muffler set up. To add to that, there was a vid on there with that vibrant set up (at least I think there was), and I'll admit, it sounded good. So push those products!

castrol... all I was trying to say is that to an outsider your car looks like someone took a white car and slapped a bunch of stickers on it. They would not know that its a rally car replica paint/decal scheme, they would not know what a rally car looked like if they saw one. They probably forgot what sega even was... As a matter of fact... and this is true story.. you can and you will probably get ticketed for your decals. When I went to Virginia to player158's meet I slept over in my buddy's house only to find out that I got a 86 dollar ticket for what was classified as "inappropriate graphics" and 43 dollar ticket for unapproved aftermarket modification.
But anyways... prior to Fast and the Furious (which caused an explosion of aftermarket market) there was little of fancy shmancy anything. People were just getting into the subwoofer situation, coming out of sleeper muscle cars. I do like your car though... but kind of wish it had grrr power to back up all the visual cues.
