Default Need help with Size of Exhaust Tips

Hello all. Need some help from my fellow members. I am buying new exhaust tips for my car. I went to Pepboys and found some nice Magnaflow tips for $24.99 on sale. I had a question about the diameters.......

Length- 8"
Diameter- 3.5". 3.5" Tips
Inlet- 2.25"

Will this fit? Is the Length too long?

What specs will fit? Thanks folks! I havent even looked into price but $24.99 seemed real cheap.

they're gunna be too long. Mine were wither 5 or 6, can;'t remember. Pepboys will let you take them to the parking lot and dryfit on your car to see if they fit. All you have to do is ask and give them a Credit card or Liscense.

Seemed cheap to me too but mine were $20 each. Got the round with rounded tips

8" long will look more at home on Mustangs or Camaros.

See if you can do the test fit and you can always cut them.. ALso the diameter seems like it would look nice to.. I beleive mine are 4" tips on the Blitz.. I couldn't be happier.. GL..

the inlet size is correct. are you going to weld them on or clamp them? i just got some magnaflow tips too, but havent installed it yet. gonha have them welded on. mine are 7" length, 4" diameter.

no sure if this applies to clamp on or not, but if you are having them welded, if its too long for your taste, just have them cut the stock tip shorter, so it sits closer to the bumper.

8" is too long but 7" will fit? Anything less then 7" should fit then right? Because they also have one where the lenght is either 5" or 6"..... i might buy those ones then. Thanks for the input.
