Default New Tips

Made a decision:
Slant cut, double wall, 2.5in,around 4.5-5in overall dia, stainless



Actually reminds me alot of the fireball axle backs, especially from the side, I just need to paint the muffler flat black so they look nice. at 200$ installed, they look great. Really aggressive.
Thoughts?

Nice! just lose those homosexual looking '92-'94 tailights and replace 'em with '95-'96 ones...They'll look even better with the exhaust tips.

-There's no change in sound, Just looks.

-I want 95 tails

-Ryeno, How could cutting off the stock tips and welding my own on hurt performance? If it does theres no way it would be noticeable. I'm sure the extra .5in of piping means I lose .002 peak HP.

You should see how much Corsa tips are. Those are my favorite and these were the closest I could find.

Besides, compared to paying 1000$ for axlebacks, it is a deal.

Yes, in theory. But practically, .5in longer won't make a difference.

I think that's a lot of money you spent considering everything's still stock but it does look good
