GRN MNSTR: Yeah, I saw this exhaust last week. I've been exchanging emails with the seller. I commented that the exhaust tips are way too big and will probably get more sale if it was smaller. The tips are too big for my taste anyway. He managed to convince his supplier to make a new batch (smaller tips). The price is definitely not bad at all for 2 mufflers. He is also selling the non colored tips for like $269 w/free shipping. I told him i'd like to see how the new batch looks and for him to send me some pictures as soon as the prototype is done from his supplier.

I think the tips are perfect. Really feels out the rear valance. I might swap out my magnaflows if I can get a sound clip.

Seller's comment regarding those video clips bellow.... copy/paste from email he sent me.

Attached actual pictures from customer. and sound clips not the best quality but ok. The sound clips were recorded immediately after instalaltion and is not broken in yet, the sound will be much better after drivein couple hundred miles. .

actually I think the big tips would be a good idea on cars that have aftermarket bumpers like AC or Vertex.....seems like they would fill in the big gaps better

On stock bumpers the smaller tips would be a better choice....I also think the tips shood sit an 1" further in to get a flush look with the bumper.I Just think it looks a little cheesy when exhuast tips sit 3" - 4" pass the bumper

I do agree with you about the tips sticking so far out past the bumper, but yeah you made a good observation!

Seller says his customer used an adjustable tip (can be moved in/out). He claims that the guy didn't want to burn the bumper of have black fumes all over it. Otherwise, the production ones will be a little in (i guess).......... but yeah.. 4.5" tip? you guys like that?

copy/paste his email below

That installed picture is with titanium tip sleeve which had length adjustment customer had teh tips outward more afraid being bumper built black color from exhaust fumes. I will forward the picture to my supplier I can't guaranteed they will have the new batch in that style but for sure will be smaller size. Thank you !

I don't think 4.5" is bad...i have basically a 5" tip on mine, granted it's single exit...so I don't think 4.5 would be bad at all

Hhhmm... Yeah it just looks way to big for me. It looks good from a distance but as you get close to the car, (for me) it seems like the hole will suck you in hahahaaa.... It does fill in the rear bumper pretty good tho. I think I'd go for a 3.5" tip if I were to get one.
