jdm drift pipes on a vr4

[unclepaulie]

hey peoples

after much deliberation i can still not deciede whether to get drift pipes on my vr4

so i thought id ask the multitude;

YES or NO

picture incase u hav NFI what im on about, tho clearly mine wont be as long

 

[Macca]

As in the exhaust on an angle?

 

[leebutts]

Wouldn't pipes like that be a defect magnet?? I'm voting no..

 

[bradc]

I don't see how that is relevant to drifting

 

[ygoslo]

Looks tough, the exhaust on my Sil extends a few inches from the rear bumper (and on such a big angle I had to cut & shut the rear bumper to move the exhaust hole across), but it won't work on a VR4.

 

[Sydo]

disgusting.

agricultural! Not what the VR4 is. 200sx yes not a VR4!

Don't do it.

Our cars aren't drift machines and shouldn't be styled with a "drift" theme in mind, either.

This is mine. Maybe a single pipe would look OK on a VR4? But I still think you need to be scraping the ground and rocking tough offset to pull it off...

Note the numberplate bolt. Apparently I got distracted half way through putting the plate on. The troubling thing is that was over 12 months ago...

I think it is more suited to the coupe's and some sedans.. I think I've seen couple of USDM 8G Galants' that got the exhaust on an angle.. and kinda looks good..

Wow that's too gay for words...

roflcopter. I quite like it.

mmmhmmm, i see, guess thats a no from most people lol, i think it would look ok with a shaved boot/loooww/big stretch and offset

You are correct. But get all of the above, then go the crazy pipes...

Shaved boot... oh nah man, don't do that either.
Not on the VR-4! You should be doing this to an Aristo or LS400

 

[frozen]

what'd be wrong with a shaved boot

 

[pu-11-me]

I haven't voted yet. Someone photochop them on for me

Would have to agree with most of the above though, the car is not exactly styled for THOSE sorts of pipes. You need something with cleaner lines (Such as Nissan's) to do that to it. They look shit on pretty much most other things

 

[dimi_108]

Hmm on your car Josh? Something similar to this...
(The owner of this creation should've just purchased a TF Magna Executive.)

But seriously, I think shaved boots are most suited to VIP, extreme show cars, and non-appealing cars trying to be cool.
I've seen one acceptable shaved boot on an R34 GT-R in HPI. But that was it.

 

[unclepaulie]

i was just gonna get the spoiler removed and the badges taken off....nothin too extreme lol

dimi mines a sedan i know what you mean though, but it'd still be interesting
