apparently, it was otherwise stock-looking, so looks to be a performance mod

Yes I agree with the free flowing exhaust idea, I have a Vortech S-Trim on my car. I also have free flowing exhaust from header back, but the tailpipe is the same diameter as the rest of the exhaust....2 1/2 inch, not something obscene like 4 or 5 inch. We all know free flowing exhaust is a must for artificially aspirated cars, but must it resemble a rubbermaid? Must the tip be 5 inches in diameter when the rest of the exhaust from the turbo is 2-3 inches? Having the huge tip makes more of a cosmetic mod rather then performance mod. Most of my buddys with high dollar imports....RX7 TT, Supra TT all have "conservative" looking mufflers/tips and they all bash on the ricers with the garbage can looking mufflers.
Oh yeah, and judging by what this guy said about the ricer having all types of video screens makes him a ricer for sure. I don't care if you're running 10s, there should be no need for multiple screens in your car. I also wouldn't doubt it if the eclipse had other ricer-like mods. Just remember, this is not bashing imports as domestics could be riced out too.
