I think that would look a whole lot better. 4 mufflers could be better than 1 also? I'm not an expert, but just giving my opinion...

When you say "coffee can" exhaust I assume you're talking about the tip. When you see a 2.5" or 3" exhaust exiting to a 4" or 5" tip on a naturally aspirated 4 banger...yes...pointless...ricer...all the bad things you're thinking. That's the Civic/Integra crowd's speciality. By throwing a freer flowing exhaust on a small displacement engine already starved for torque, they are removing the only good thing going for that high revving, torque-less wonder under the hood.
The Evo is a different story because it has a turbocharger. I'll assume you understand how a turbo charger works. Therefore you'll understand that the best exhaust setup for a turbocharged engine is no exhaust at all. Because that's not practical in a street application, us Evo owners try to find the most free flowing exhaust allowed by law. Currently a nice 3" setup with minmum bends (and preferrably catless) is sufficient up until about 400whp. I guess if you wanna call it a coffee can exhaust, then yeah...on an Evo it makes a lot of sense.

Got the new rims. Just waiting for the weather to clear so I can FINALLY wash the car and take some pics. We just set a record for the wettest March in Bay Area history. 25 days and counting with rain.

Well we're going on like 10 days straight of rain. It's killing me that I can't even wash my car but I took some pics anyways so you guys can see how it turned out with the new rims. I'm happy with the color match between the rims, side mirrors, door handles and roof stripping. It's a big pic...

I finally took some good pics tonight. Unfortunately I don't have photoshop installed on my new computer to crop these and/or reduce the image size so 56k beware!

I know. They're awful. I'm using this application called "ACDSee" that I just found online for free. It sucks the big one. I couldn't tell until I posted them online. They look really grainy.
I'm looking for a photoshop crack right now.

Sorry man. I'm usually good at this stuff. I run a server and FTP tons of crap to it all the time so people can download direct from me. I bought a new computer a few weeks ago and I'm still undergoing the painfully slow process of installing all of the old apps. I figured I'd try my ISP's "photo album" mode but I must have fuxor'd something. Try this...
