Single or dual exhaust

riced single < riced dual <<<< stock <<<< non-riced after-market dual
My definition of "riced" would be tips that stick out waaaay past the bumper and tilted waaaay up. Plus, I'd also sacrifice 5-10hp (or whatever it really is) to have a dual setup over a single setup. Again, these are just my opinions.
I would prefer something like this:

the simplest explanation is this: "Form over function or the lack of function altogether"
tilted exhaust tips, when done correct, are done because that was the direction of the last bend of the exhaust when getting around the differential or rear suspension parts.
What YOUVE just shown IS technically RICE. I think what you've got there looks great, but if you want to start pointing the finger; look at yourself in the mirror. The same justification you use for those mufflers just now is the same as a kid that puts a huge wing on his mom's civic. He thinks it looks good even though it doesnt give him much.

you need a serious redefinition of what it means to be rice

That would pretty much include 90% of the members here. eg: rims, body kit, late model taillights, etc. People can add unique styling to their cars without ricing them out. I myself put some 18 inch rims on my car (and probably sacrificed a few horses) for the visual effect. I am also a big fan of my late model steering wheel, although it serves no additional function above the old one rather than looking better.

Then using that logic, how is a single exit exhaust rice? Not only does it sound better, weigh less, and make more power, some people think it looks better.
And yes, that car you posted looks great. Many dual exhaust setups look great, and some single exhausts look tacky. But you can't group every car that has a single exhaust together the same way I couldn't sit here and say that anybody who puts 18's on their car don't care about going fast, even if it does apply to a portion.

I love the way both look but I recently just changed to duals. Well its pretty much a 3" Y straight pipe lol. I had a super dragger off a supra and loved the way it looked but it was hanging too low for me to lower my car. I'm really going to miss my gigantic muffler lol.

I def agree with Gunner... I wouldnt call my single exit a "Ricer" exhaust. Dual looks sweet but I've seen probably a hand full dual exhausts that are worth the money. It really all depends where your going... Max HP or Max style.

When I actually get my sc300 and start building it I want to do 4" downpipe into a full 4" exhaust with maybe a 5" burns muffler. Not sure if they make a 4" cat but one of them, and a 4" electrical cutout before the cat at the downpipe.
Can't b*tch about that form and function!

why the need for 1000+ crank hp? A guy on SF dyno'd his car twice, once with a 3" down pipe, and another with a 4" downpipe, and at 500rwhp he gained 60 horse and 100rpm in spool. Isn't that reason enough??
We used full 3" exhausts on our 300rwhp cars. Any thing over 500 should have a 4" in my opinion. And I plan on running a 71-72mm maxing out around 750
