Agency Power Catback... googly eyes?

So, I didn't know if this was better suited for this section, or the engine section. I opted for here because it's an opinion thread.

Does the AP Catback look like off because the tips point outwards instead of straight back? this looks like straight up google eyes to me. but I love the sound this thing makes... #torn

What do you guys think? Agency Power is really hooking me up! (Free plug for great salemanship) and I want to try and stick with their products but the look on this exhaust is bugging me. anyone else feel this way?

Looks good to me. My CNT pipes look funny too but I guess thats just because its not using the standard dual stock muffler design.

I think it looks hideous and wish they would have stayed with their prototype layout instead.

I'm not a fan...at all. Another thing you notice, easier in person, is that the canisters aren't evenly angled on each side which looks really goofy from the rear. You can see it in this picture though:

You guys are going to have to type louder. I used to have an Agency Power cat-back and I still can't hear a thing anyone says. Please use caps or something.

No, it didn't hit anything and, if anything, it was "safer" for rallycrossing than the stock exhaust. It just drones unbearably. Supposedly, if you get a good downpipe and replacement cat section the drone is reduced, but I run in a Stock class that only allows a cat back and this exhaust was unacceptable for daily driving. YMMV and YSDMV (your sensitivity to droning may vary).

When i first bought my evo this was the exhaust I put on it. Within 100 miles i had it taken off and sold and bought the buschar cat back. I thought it looked very ricey and the sound was so annoying I could not take it. I came from an STI so having the nice rumble to that terrible noise I just would not suggest it.

It seems like the mufflers come out at different angles. I don't think it looks good and it also sounds a bit louder than I would like.

I did the same thing with the first catback I tried (Ultimate Racing).

Yeah, I am going to go with the Buschur Cross Flow. Agency Power is really hooking me up and I wanted to bring as much of my motor under their command as I could. but I don't like the look, sound, or review of this CBE.
