Like number 5 for the Hatchback... Sport Exhaust... If it were center mounted, it would be perfect!

And NO... I'm not letting this Center mounted exhaust thing alone until it happens!

I found out why this is so hard to do. It has to do with the limited amount of space under the liftback between the axle and the bumper. Basically, in order to do a center mounted exhaust you would have to put some bends in there that would be detrimental to overall performance and flow. It is actually easier to do on a sedan because although the stock exhaust is the same on both cars, the sedan has more room before the rear bumper to play with. Therefore you could use a more modest bend to achieve the same result.

Personally, I like looks but I am in it for performance and a center mounted exhaust will not perform as well on this car as a normal exhaust would, so when the time comes I will be going with a regular old exhaust. Its unfortunate because I think the center mounted exhaust idea plays well with the asymmetrical design of this car, but oh well.

So my choice here is Style Vs. Performance?



Oh well... I guess I have a pretty hard choice ahead of me then!

I got that one (along with all the other accessories I wanted) thrown in for free with mine. It's just a tip, not an actual exhaust though - see my garage for pics..

Ignition Key Light 3050 THB = 94.4081 USD!! Would really like to have this light, but I agree that it seems expensive. But then again, arn't all electronic items expensive?
