Everyone here hates dumps. I'll agree that pipes out the back looks nicer, but if I wanted my car looking nice, it'd have a fresh paintjob, I wouldn't have painted my Harwood with a rattle can and I have the dent on my roof pulled. I guess for me, I really couldn't give a rats ass how the car looked as long as it was a runner. Now I understand that he asked what looks better, but I just had to get this off my chest. Everytime I see a thread regarding turndowns, there's a ton of people that jump in and bash on them like it's the thing to do. The Flowmaster catback looks great, but to me, its not worth the extra $200 or so. Plus, if you put a little pipe on the driver's side, people might mistake it for a 2.3L car. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="biggrin.gif" /> Ok, I'm done.
