haha that's awesome! kinda reminds me of the whistles that some people used to put on their pipes. Just another trend, I guess

thats what i thought. how can exhaust possibly come outta the engine with enough pressure to provide downforce?

I had always heard from the old school guys that it disrupts the airstream flowing over the car so the car behind them has more trouble streaming them.

i have very lil knowledge about this topic but i fig id put my 2 cents in.


DTM tips...not really, well in germany yes, here in fresno/clovis cali i have yet to ever see a e30 or any rwd german car with DTM tips the only cars i ever see with them are RICED out honda's, VW's, and toyota's. and at that most are held on by bailing wire or just the pipe itself...ask me how i know :D

Do as you desire, as long as it's completely legal.

To dump the exhaust in a low pressure area behind the car which would help reduce back pressure further at speed. On street cars it just helps identify douche bags.

True, but they actually look good on E30 M3's when the tips follow parallel with the rear bumper line.
