Its common over here, typical example are the rubbish cars chavs drive around (Vauxhall Nova or Ford Escort are popular). Bigger exhaust == better, espically if its half the size of the bumper and has a "NOS" sticker above it. Oh and its not a good car unless its got about the same clearance ground -> bodykit as the typical height of a Clipper lighter. (1.5 - 2 inch approx).
