im getting my cat-back in a few days, and the question was asked if i should have my muffler (2.5") angled or not. I've always had mixed feelings about angled mufflers because it varies from car to car. Does anyone have any pics of angled mufflers on their celicas?

I got mine slighty angled, if you check my profile you can see it, cause im to lazy to upload it.
 but yeah blinky is right, round canister = angle, oval = straight.  ~FlamingCelica -------------------- 94 Red Celica ST

i dont understand, what is the difference if its angled? is it sorta like choosing to wear your hat sideways or backwards or something?

In my opinion the exhaust shouldn't be angled to the side, but rather a bit down. Or, not the exhaust itself, but the end of the pipe, should angle down just a tiny bit.
A few typical JDM exhausts have that little angle at the very end, and it looks great. Gram's for example.. They produce very, very light weight full turbo-back exhausts for most japanese cars, and they are all angled down a little at the tip. Lets see if I can find a picture.
