An exhaust tip, whatcha think?

Hi again.

While window/net shopping for exhaust/ cat -back, (i can't afford one at all since nearly all of my money is in investments), I found this. the minitip.

Powertone

I was really curious about it so I even checked out the the patent office. Here's da link
powertone minitip patent link

Is this thing worth buying? Is there anything that's similar to it out there? Or should I get a hold of myself and just save the money?
Thanks

How about this tip that was on the bus I cleaned last week? I am suprised I haven't see it on any Civics yet.

Oh, and FocusRun, if it were me, I'd hold out unitl you could afford a good catback exhaust. I went with the put-it-together yourself system on my old Accord, and was never satisfied with the sound or performance. You will thank yourself in the long run.

I've got an Accord, but resisted the temptation to use a coffee can for my exhaust. I have nice subtle 2.5" dual tips.

BTW, how about this for a Civic exhaust system?

To bad thats just an exhaust and not a jet engine....that would be fun. A good 10,000 lbs of thrust would suffice LOL.

I thought you were going to say something like "Holy mother of all reposts, batman!" That pic has been around the internet for years.
