I absolutely hate angled exhausts but it S2000 badge doesn't look bad there.

i like it... just dont think something plastic will hold up to the heat.. and welding it on seems like it could cause u more problems then its worth.. i dont think anyones gonna see it anyways.. id consider buying the Single Exhaust cap if your worried about looks

Interesting, but I don't think I'd rock it for more than a week.

And who started the whole angled exhaust thing anyways? It's pointless and ads alittle length to the piping; unneeded weight.

I've also saw multiple porches that have their exhaust and waste gate pipes pointed to one side. I still don't know why.

It originated on turbo cars that had too many bends in the exhaust system if they exited "normally" They reduced/removed some of the bends to create the straightest exhaust system design which on certain cars gives the exhuast an angled exit. In theory it acutally is less piping, and the exhaust flows much faster.

thanks for the history lesson (i'm pretty sure everyone knows it though).

the crooked look also had no real measurable performance gain. so, it's a wash.

It doesn't look bad. But like someone said, it might fall off from the heat.

That is a nice way to melt the S2000 badge on your exhaust.
