Fartcan Edit Meaning

1.

Oversize "performance" exhaust found on underpowered import "rice" cars. Generally reduces performance and makes the car sound like it's farting, or like a lawnmower.

Look at the fartcan on that civic.

2.

Any muffler with a wider exhaust port that allows for a louder sound. Typically found on cars owned by drivers who can't afford a real street-racing car but want to act like they have one.

Fartcans are installed on cars strictly to make noise to annoy other drivers.

See ricer, spoiler, street race, street racer, street racing

3.

A large bore, straight through muffler generally found on four cylinder cars. Usually meant as an insult towards modified import cars, usually said by mullet-wagon(Mustang, Camaro, etc.) owners.

A fartcan sounds horrible on a domestic car. :)
