It's simple. The LED's draw the exhaust out of the pipe via light at the end of the tunnel, therefore reducing backpressure and thus adding 15hp and 20ft/lbs. of torque. :smash: :lol:

That's very rice, but I still think the carbonfiber toilet seat is the ultimate rice.

It's funny. RICE drivers put all sorts of crap on their cars to draw attention to themselves, yet they always seem to STARE at me... err, my car. I do stare at their cars too, but the only difference is that I am usually laughing and they are usually just have an awe struck look on their faces.... kinda like they are "daydreaming". :)

WTF IS THAT????

I hope to the Corvette gods that is not a real exhaust.

I guess they call it the "Bowling Ball Shooter"

"StreetGlow LED Muffler Tips
Trim out your tailpipe with 9 hot colors!"

Yet the tips are available in only one color at a time. If I can not have all nine colors in one tip :mad , I'm afraid I'll have to pass on this one. I can not stand false advertising. :boxing

I saw that at http://www.anti-rice.com/ a while back too. Talk about the worlds biggest fart pipe! I just always wondered if the guy was serious about it or making a joke.

OK, I've got four exhaust tips. What color combination would you guys/gals suggest. Maybe red on the outboard pipes and purple inboard?
