What to do for tips?

Codeman · February 20th, 2011, 08:10 PM

Ok well I have recently installed a GT rear bumper. I am looking to upgrade my exhaust tips.

I currently have a 2.25 inch exhaust and want straight out tips. I am wondering what is a good place to buy cheap tips? I want 3.5 inch tips.

Also what would you guys go with just a flush cut at the end of the tip or 45 degree? If you have pics of both I would appreciate it? That way I could see what I like better.

I know what you can do for tips..

But seriously. Go with 3" tips. 3.5" is a little much. But get a slant cut non rolled.

3.5 inch rolled you wont be disappointed , sorry red pony haha

anyone got pics of either setup?

There is a thread about this a couple pages back, i think its just titled exhaust tips.
What you get is really all just personal preference.
If you want something cheap summit and jegs have their own brand of cheap tips.

I say do the 3 inch slash. But the rolled or flush straight cut looks good too. SLP tips look good, straight cut. Your car would look good with the rolled tips. Big as tips are for trucks... lol

I think rolled tips look bad if you don't have a GT bumper cover. But you do. So nevermind. haha.

I've got 3.5" slant cut. Honestly, I'd like to change them out for 3.5" straight cut + rolled instead. I just think rolled look a lot cleaner.

3.5" or 4"....anything smaller is to small

You know, when I went in to have my exhaust done I told the guy I wanted 3" tip and the bumper cut because the previous owner didn't install the muffler correctly so it melted a spot on the bumper. When I went to pick it up he had put on 3.5" tips at no extra charge because he had to cut the hole bigger than he expected. Now I'm really glad I didn't get 3" tips. 3.5" are perfect imo.

Nothing beats the look of SLP tips

SlowSix · February 20th, 2011, 10:13 PM

SLP Tips are damn expensive ^
but I have 3 inch tips, too small imo. 3.5 ftw.

i want magnaflow tips

SlowSix · February 20th, 2011, 11:09 PM

Thats what I'm planning on getting...3.5 inch magnaflow slant cuts

Codeman · February 21st, 2011, 11:15 AM

Thanks for the pick and info. I am going to try googling GT exhaust and see if I can see what some different tips look like. I then will be calling the local exhaust shop and seeing how much and what kinds of tips they have.

SlowSix · February 21st, 2011, 01:29 PM

The shop I go to told me $100 for two magnaflow tips installed (he is a magnaflow dealer). Not a bad price considering magnaflow tips are like $40-50 alone.
I still can't decide if I want a rolled tip or slant cut though. I need pics of a rolled tip on a v6 bumper.

Matt. · February 21st, 2011, 02:07 PM

3.5 rolled

4 rolled

3.5 is all you will ever need and want

Slant sucks...
