Irishbrahm. Do the tips bend down when looking from the side of the car or are the perfectly straight?

Thanks Irishbrahm. From the photos they do look like they are titled down. I wonder if there is a way around this without any bumper modification or dropping the exhaust an inch or so. I don't want to go that route.

I don't think so. The OEM pipes tilt down, and so the clamp for the aftermarket pipe just slides over it. So the OEM and aftermarket tailpipes tilt at the same angle. The tilt is necessary to clear the bumper without touching it.

Thanks, That's what I thought. I wanted the 04-06 look without any significant modification.
