I meant if you just used a normal muffler with a tip at the end of the piping. Sorry for not specifying.
I understand that this is the style with imports, like I stated previously. What I was saying was that it is ridiculous for someone to tell me that an obnoxiously huge tip that looks horrendously out of place (to me) is strictly for performance. It isn't. There are other options, that is just their preferred aesthetic.
I know what a muffler does. The last part of your post tells me I somehow failed in trying to establish my point. I'm not knocking anyone's visual opinions, just explaining my frustration with the people who think that the only way to put custom performance exhaust on an Asian import is to end in a Folger's can.
