What exactly is the definition of a rice burner? I have been accused of driving one by Mustang GT owners because mine is a V6. Right now mine is stock except exhaust and CAI but I will have more as soon as I can afford it

Hey Robwazhere, do you get any crap from the cops or anything like that for having straight pipes. I'd love to do that, but i cant really afford to get a ticket right now...Being under 18 and in ohio, i would most likely have my liscense suspended for 30 days i think. Also, did you get 473 rwhp out of your cobra by just the things in your sig. or did you do others.

Just Curious

Status: offline 'rice burner' is any asian car. It's an ethnic slur based upon the fact that rice is a large part of the food chain over there.

'rice' or 'ricey' can be applied to any car. Gawdy paint, body kits, wings, street glow, LED tailpipes/valve stem caps/washer nozzles, stickers - especially stickers suggesting that your car is something more than it is, or just incorrect badging (ie Civic type R in the states, or even better the elusive Mustang GT-R), ANYTHING APC, altezza/euro tails, neon, 1-lb fire extinguishers mounted on the A pillar, NOS bottle bazooka subs, indiglo, electronic BOV sound generators, N2O purge valves on vehicles not running N20, 5" exhaust tips on vehicles not requiring them. Or even a 3" tip slapped on a 1.75" pipe. Chrome 5-spoke wheel covers. Fake drilled discs.

I think that should give you the picture. You can never completely define rice as somebody out there is always finding a new way to expand the genre.

Status: offline Oh. Straight pipes.

Usually on V8 american vehicles you can get away with it for some reason. When I bought my truck it had rusted out cherry bombs pointed out both sides right under the cab that were essentially straight pipes. (it sounded like an old speedboat, kinda cool for a while, but annoying after that). I thought for sure that I would have gotten a ticket when I pulled up next to a county sheriff at a light, with one of my exhaust tips pointed straight at his head. He didn't even flinch.

But try it with a flashy Japanese car and you'll get a ticket for sure. One of my friends got nailed very soon after she put a scoobysport on her RS.

Exhaust tickets (here in WA anyway) are usually fix-it tickets. But it's basically a law they can't enforce.

Why do I say that? According to state law in order for you to be guilty of having an exhaust too loud it has to be tested using SAE (iirc) guidelines. I don't remember them offhand but it's something like 50' to the side of the vehicle with the engine revved to 3500 with no load. Again I don't remember exactly what they are, but generally the ticketing officer doesn't do these procedures.
I think the courts can order you to go get your exhaust sound level checked, and if you fail then you get the ticket, but a smart person would bolt up a muffler before doing the sound check.

And citations for 'modified exhaust' are bunk as well for the most part, if you do direct replacements. If you take a screwdriver and poke holes in your muffler, that's a modified exhaust. But buying some other muffler and bolting it up is not modifying, it's replacing. And according to the magnusson moss (or whatever) act you are allowed to use replacement parts not made by the manufacturer.

Bottom line - if you can't afford the ticket, don't commit the crime. :) Do some research into your state and local laws so you are an informed citizen when you get pulled over. Cops hate it when you know your rights (when they're trying to nail BS on you), but if you can prevent a trip to court it'll save you time and money.

Hey Robwazhere, my car is the fastest thing on the road... LOL jk I don't see why some take it so personal if they get beat in a race. You win some and you lose some, that's how I look at it. I don't care how fast your car is someone can beat you.

Bluestang,

Jegs and a few other places sell a little kit that bolts under your car.

The slider bolts just before any cats,mufflers and pipe. So you have 4 pipes, two rear and two side. When you flip the switch in your car to OPEN the slider slides from the legal exhaust system and reroutes to the side exits making it a straight pipe deal. -- It's really nice, my bud has it on a '33 Ford he built. He'll be at a light and someone will come revvin' -- he looks at them, flips the switch and all of a sudden that low ford rumble becomes that 1/4 mile-beat-ur-arse-straight-pipe sound....and with a 500hp engine....he can pretty much back it up if he had to......

Status: offline Yea, theyre call exhaust blow downs. Most rodders put them just before the mid-pipe right after the headers. Chevies can handle the no back pressure, but Im not sure how fords would work with it.

russell_314....this is for you buddy!!

Hi! My name is (who?)... My name is (what)... My name is

(scratches)...

Rice Burner!

Hi kids, do you like 5 inch tips?,

Wanna see me stick chrome fender flares over each one of my Konigs?

Wanna follow me and do exactly as I did?

Try NOS and get your motor f***ed up worse then my life is?

My brain's dead weight,

I'm trying to get my head straight,

but I can't figure out which sticker to put over my license plate.

And the mechanic says "Rice Burner you's a crack head"

"Nu-uh"

"Then why's your car dead, man its wasted "

Well since age 9 I've wanted an Si so I could put chrome 18's on it and

make it run 16.9's.

Got pissed off and ripped all my Honda emblems off,

And replaced them with "R" badges so people know I'm not soft.

I smoke a big bowl of chron, lay in my lawn

For longer then it took me to put my altezzas on.

"Come here bastard" "Dude, wait a minute that's a mustang, dawg!!"

I don't give a f***; I'll just fly by and put my hazards on!

Hi! My name is (who?)... My name is (what)... My name is

(scratches)...

Rice Burner!

  I pull up to the starting line, from a fifty roll I'm usually fine,

But dem godd@mn V8 Ponies smoke me all the time.

99% of my crew I have to lie to,

I just found out a salad shooter makes more torque than I do,

My chrome 15's own, my Integra's a Type-R clone,

****, even my kanji decals are worth 10 horsepower alone.

Hi! My name is (who?)... My name is (what)... My name is

(scratches)...

Rice Burner!

  Stop the race, this car needs to be locked away.

  Not even Justin Timberlake in drag is this gay.

  I talk a mad line of jive, at the track I barely survive,

  But an 8 foot aluminum wing looks bitchin on a front wheel drive.
