Is it just me?!

   Not pretty by all means, but funny. At 1st I though it was going to be a cold gas/copper tubing deal to cool the gas before it entered the chambers but them I looked on. So I take it there is absolutely nothing to it , other than a noise maker. Unless it actually helps out with backpressure in some way. I got a straight pipe for my old yamaha 360 enduro, and it is fast but just the coffee can tip I guess is supposed to intimidate other people with noise.

Really, I know nothing about them. I never have been inclined to converse with a ricer, except for saying "I'll race you, off road". Do they have 3" exhaust and high flow everything? I ain't shting you neither,honest question.


If it's a true tuner car it will probably have at least one turbo and a 3" exhaust.  Don't mistake a tuner car for a ricer though.  A ricer will have the stock 1.75"" exhaust and run a wide mouth exhaust or just bolt-on a tip.  The tips allow the gases to expand and then they reverberate in the can for that loud exhaust note.  They want that same sound without having to spend $$$$'s for a better car with a turbo.


   Right on Jeffy. Thanks for the 411. Now I know why the  v-8 trucks chase the ricers down the road bumper to bumper. Because the ricers can't get away.

like jeffy said there is two different import groups.  i have seen tons of ricers but my subaru is fully tuned and has no decals all over or body kits but it does have 400hp at all four wheels.  i like to see ricers,  v8 cars (mustangs and camaros mostly) and trucks pull up next to me thinking i just have a little louder exaust.  then when i spool my car and launch it with the front end a foot off the ground the kind of you a dumb look on there face when i am waiting at the next light.  but don't get me wrong there is a ton of money in that car too.  and it's for sale too if any body knows someone that wants to get into drag racing or rally cross or auto cross.

 The only Suburu that I know that will come close to doing that is a WRX. Those, are fast machines.  :yikes:

Legacy and a Forester are nice sleepers.  I'd go with the Forester XT though.  In the UK and Japan, there is a STI Tuner version of both cars.
