Well hang on... I though ricey was a term used that implied for mods that were based on looks before power. While I don't doubt the performance advantages of this new system, the fact that the tips come out the side instead of the back indicate looks (or sound) were considered before performance. There is HP to be gained at speed if it is directed into the wake of the car- back AND up.
Don't get me wrong, I think the pipes are very cool, but im just going on the rice definitions I was given
