After you wake up with the sun at 6am on someone's floor, coughing up cigarette butts and tasting like warm beer, you may well change your opinion on this matter.

x0mg, ric0r has too many exhaust tips :tounge:

I'm just going cheap here, so Magnaflow is not very likely.

If I get a Flowmaster, I'll make some vids, but they are almost always a bit raspy on 4-bangers.

I'm going to be doing something similar soon.  My stock size is 195/50/16, I'm going to jump up to 205/50/16.  It greatly opens up the tire options, and the Potenza G 009 (recommended by NACar, thus it's validity in this thread :lol:) is at the top of my list.

I love raspy.  I don't love flatulence (on my car, anyway).

Lots of vids of Miatas with aftermarket exhausts, it probably would sound similar, perhaps a little meaner from the extra displacement.

Now you see why metal knobs aren't that common!
Maybe we need to start off small. I mean, they don't let you fuck the glumpers at Glumpees without a level 4 FuckPass, do they?

But it makes me feel alive! Anyway, I could never go back to that hollow plastic knob after utilizing one so nicely weighted.
