Just a quick question. Do I need to hammer in the GFX tips and then turn them? Or do I just align them like I want and then hammer them in? With a rubber mallet of course.

normally they come with the rear GFX kit. Many people who have a different exhaust that dont need the tips, you may find them in the forum Classifieds

^ Nope. If you want a change in sound go with aftermarket exhaust or mufflers.

This was 7 years ago. You can try the classified sections to see if anyone has spare gfx tips.
