I've seen alot of DSMs and other cars with tilted exhausts and I just love how it looks. I want to get mine tilted also before snow hits around my area.

Anyway, when I go to an exhaust shop what should I say? Should I just say I want it tilted and that's it? Should they know already? Or do I say something more specific like I want it tilted this much?

I know kind of a dumb question sorry.

Thanks for any replys.

some aftermarket catbacks are tilted out the drivers side of the rear bumper because of how it is designed to go under the rear cross member. Here is a pic of my thermal exhaust, see how it angles out after the cross member?

^^^^^^ what the dude before me said. just make sure you get the right one, i think apexi sells them, but they are expensive.

p.s. i used to call these type of exaust " under axle exaust", is that a wrong term?

yeah the muffler can be parallel to the centerline of the car if it goes over the rear cross member. The reason why muffler is tilted in aftermarket systems is because it has to stay closer to the center of the car when going under the cross member to leave room for suspension travel and then it can angle back to the drivers side after it has cleared the suspension. Like VelocitaPaola said this design uses less bends for a more free flowing design and is pretty much the only way to fit 3" exhaust on our cars.

I already have an aftermarket exhaust, but mine doesn't go at an angle it actually kinda sits low to the left. I don't like the way it looks. Im just going to go to a shop and get it done.

JDM SLANT IT!!!!

if it's just for looks then yes rice all the way. however like stated earlier, they are designed like that so they can go under the cross member. So IMO when it is for a legit reason, how can it be rice? Mine is slanted just for that very reason, and it still is a very tight fit under that cross member.
