Just the exhaust tip...
I am going to have some exhaust work done on my car, eliminating rear muffler and possibly also the pair of resonators depending on the loudness that results, and then running new 2.25" pipe out to the rear bumper. I found an image online of exactly what I want my exhaust exit to look like (see attached).
Does anyone know whose car this is and/or what tips these are?

Gracias! I went through the thread and saw that the tips were separate from the rest of the exhaust. PM'ed him to get details on the tips.

Preliminary mock-up of the setup I'm going with. Got some Vibrant 3.5" dual stainless tips and I must say they look good. Can't wait to get these welded up in a few days!!! I'm battling internally with the idea of cutting more out of the bumper to move the tips up further though.

I'm still on OEM struts, definitely not original but I don't know how old they actually are. I need more than 1" so I would definitely need to replace the struts with aftermarket at the same time.
The fat tires will need to go eventually too. Just don't have the moolah to tackle it all right now. Why did I go and get married, buy a house, and have kids???

Did you install them in place of the OEM mufflers? I assume you still have all 3 resonators on there. I'd either replace the muffs you just installed with straight pipe and leave the resonators on or leave the straight-thru muffs on and start removing resonators.
I don't have a video yet but am hoping to put one together soon. I'll post it back here when I create it.

From what I've read, doing a full exhaust system on these cars really doesn't do anything for you unless you have aspirations of increasing horsepower. I personally do not so swapping out the stock mufflers to get some noise was the best route for me.
