Is This "Rice"???????????

I am thinking about getting this exhaust tip pictured welded on to my stock muffler......mainly just so that it looks good. I have an ES so I don't even have a nice chrome tip like the OZ models do. I am also not worried about performance since this car will never be fast short of forced induction.

And yes, I will be trimming the opening so that it matched the size and shape of the tip perfectly.

What do you all think?????????

I just want a decent looking tip on there instead of the stock black peashooter thing. Yes, it is for looks because this car is slower than **** and I refuse to have a louder-than-stock exhaust on there..........

If the "modification" doesnt help with the performance of the vehicle then its rice.

I dont think it looks that bad, and beleive me i am not a fan of rice, but i think it looks ok as long as it doesnt make it sound much different, so i think it looks good as long as your not making your car sound worse

stop spending your money on show items that add no performance and instead drop this in http://www.donkihote.com/sports/13805523.asp
