Team N.V.S.
keep these on rwd cars only. GOD . i never had a wrong wheel drive car till now and seeing angled exhausts on fwd cars makes the baby jesus cry if there was such a thing as jesus.
and for the record there is enough room to do it and a few companys bastardize rwd heritage and make angled exhausts for the xB .

The DC Sports axle back comes out crooked. I personally don't like that look (maybe because of the 100s of hondas in my area that drive around with their huge fart cans hanging out of their bumper crooked)
I bought mine from fuscionscion here on SL and he cut the rear section of pipe and re-welded it to make it come out straight and it looks so much better in my opinion.

the angled exhaust is just the style, its no different than a 3" tip or a 4" tip, or a burnt tip finish and a carbon fiber finish
theres not a specific type of car that an angled exhaust is designed for. ive seen angled exhaust on plymoth prowlers to lamborgini murcelagos so its not jdm exclusive either.

the new GTI has an IRS as does (im 99% sure) the M3. they both have stright exhausts.
it has everything to do with looks, just like everything else we do to our cars.
