I’ve never understood the purpose of doing this. Is it for a particular type of driving (drifting?). Or is it just purely to look a certain way? I assume it’s not for any performance as most of these cars drive slower than most cars, and as I drive by I can hear ‘clunks’ from the exhaust hitting uneven pavement.

I don’t mean to rip on ppl that do this as it’s their car and they can do what they want to it. Just trying to understand the Appeal of this. When I see this I always can’t help imagine Godzilla got drunk and stepped on it. Maybe it’s for the younger crowd and makes some fashion statement?
remember when you were younger, your parents would say things like "don't listen to [music artist] for [reasons], and then you go with your friends to that musicians concert anyways?

this is the aged-person equivalent of those moments. much of car culture tells people that this trend is stupid, therefore certain people feel obligated to do it specifically because others didn't agree with it.
