wtf are "blast pipes"?

[MTV2002]

my Facebook has been littered by subaru guys posting pics of their newly installed "blast pipes" wtf are these? from the looks of it they seem to be long exhaust tips that serve no purpose whatsoever. they remind me of my old air cooled vw days having a stinger on the ol beetle. someone please educate me.

Pretty sure it's just tips/pipe that replaces the rear muffler... I'm not JDM though so I wouldn't know

[Rdp616]

It's a fad, that's it.

[MTV2002]

thats what i figured. cant wait till they hit the s4 community i guess i have them on my car since i have a twin 1 and there are pipes where my rear muffler should be. only difference is mine dont stick out far enough to trip over!

[WikiWiki]

pics? I love me some good old ricer hate

[zdriver]

So basically a twin 1 on an avant? Lol

[S4UCE]

Dirty indeed.

[MTV2002]

yeah i figured they had no real performance applications, ive just been inundated by people "liking" pics of peoples blast pipes and figured i would see what the fuss is about. i guess its kinda like whistle tips eh? woooo woooooooo!!

[DESPOT D S4]

Blast pipes are mainly used in the drift scene and on 240's
They mean straight pipes. Oversized and stuuuuppiiidd loud.

[s4cappa]

they look better than the regular Subaru cannon on the back but those pipes dont seem to stick out far maybe the angle?

Subaru guys have a really easy to flash opensource ecu, this has an easy to install and flash anti-lag/launch control/no lift shift program, this means a lot of flames out the exhaust. People have taken to adapting the "Bōsōzoku" exhaust style (insane japanese fad, google it) in order to keep from melting their bumpers. This puts the flame about 5-6 inches away from the bumper, and no melted bumper :)

plus on some cars it can look kind of cool/mean.

...I would've thought it was another term for a dump pipe.

It's only for decoration, that's it and that's all

oversized upswept duel exhaust tips.

thats what i figured, who is going to be the first on this platform?

How do the exhaust tips fight?

I did a rear muffler delete with a single piece of 3.5" pipe, and its angled a little bit (not as extreme as the wrx above)...


before it was cool...

[Fourplay]

I can't wait until people start installing dose pipes here. It's just a matter of time...

[MTV2002]

yeah.....

I see what you did there.

[fshowcars]

joe dub, exactly... can't wait til they go full jdm through the hood... oil cooler line ballin' as well

i dont think the S4's bumper is all that allowing for a upswept tip. but it wont be long till some one hacks the tips off a SS autochrome exhaust and welds 45's

[nizmosx]

funny thing is i was planning on doing this a couple years back on my s4. i was looking for the right pipes to do. instead of straight piping though i wanted them to flare out. I didnt realize its a trend now, Glad i decided not to do it.

[smallopinion]

blast pipes have been around for a while now, the "stance" and drift scene is largely responsible for bringing more into the mainstream. and i personally think that a set of pipes like the ones on that wrx or s14 look better than the 4 inch tip rice can.

Stance superstar!! Check out the perfect 32.187 degree tilt he has on all his stickers!!! He even has tires that don't fit the wheels, I bet he he gets lots of trophies!!!

best part is you can't see the stance is probably has...

lol! i knew it had something to do with the "stance" scene. we need a scene that actually promotes performance and useful mods

its just a style they snagged from old over the top Japanese cars.

^ wow. cant wait till the stancetards slap 10 inch wheels on a b5! seriously some of those wheels i could swear belong on a shifter cart lol!

[4ringAR]

I actually like "mild" "blast pipes"(like the ones shown in on the wrx above). I remember seeing them on some subarus a few years ago and I thought they looked nice, or atleast better than the fart cannon everyone normally runs on a subby.
They sort of remind me of the exhaust tips on old school bimmers
