Despite the assumed "definition" of rice as being "Race Inspired Cosmetic Enhancement", I think the interpretation will ALWAYS vary. What one person considers to be rice or not will be based purely on preference. Since the rice reference carries such a negative connotation, I'm inclined to say that anyone with modifications that others might consider ricey isn't likely to feel the same. For example, when I put yellow fog overlays on my car, a coworker said it was ricey and I argued otherwise, but neither of us were really right or wrong! I guess my point is that it doesn't matter what others might categorize your exhaust as because in the end, your modifications should be made to please yourself, not others. If you like the sound and looks of it, embrace your decision to purchase and slap it on!

Yeah, thats what all ricers would like to think tho, the whole "doesn't matter what others think", or maybe they think other people admire their work. Either way, I will slap it on. Maybe take some pictures afterwards and post them on this thread!
this is the video that made me

Yeap, after reading everyone's helpful comments, I'm going to confidently install them and see what I think. I just hope my parent's won't get too angry because they've always thought Lexus was known for its quality and mainly quiet cabin. This is going to be pretty funny once they experience it for themselves haha!

Everyone is going to interpret the meaning of RICE differently. The way I see, if your car is all show and no go... it leans into the RICE. If your mods add a bit of HP, then it's better than dead weight. If your mods help you corner and brake better, then it's better than dead weight.
I've seen too many Civics that have a bunch of "Fake" mods such as carbon fiber gas cover, mirrors, drilled holes in rear bumper, fake drilled rotors, brake caliper covers to look like BBK, 8 inch exhaust tip, more vinyl decals than sheet metail, giant airplane wing in back, etc... but the person has no performance mods.
