Quick Question About Exhaust Tips

tjames · November 16th, 2007, 01:48 AM

im looking for some 3.5" stainless rolled tips but here is a question... The pipes for my exhaust are going to be 2.5" so should the inlet for the tips be 2.5" or should it be a 3" inlet? i was thinking 3" inlet but i want to double check before i buy anything. thanks guys

Hey man, as you know I'm not an expert, but it seems to me that the inlet should be the same as your pipes. I could be wrong though. Why don't you ask the shop that is doing your exhuast?

tjames · November 16th, 2007, 02:37 AM

im going to give them a call tomorrow but i was just wondering because if someone could gove me a quick answer i was gunna buy them tonight but i will wait and call tomorrow. thanks monty! hows your car coming?

I got my new CAI I'm just waiting for a reasonably warm day(that I don't have to work) to put it on. I'll have a pic of my new rims for you at thanksgiving when I'll have access to my parents digital camara. Also, just had to spend about $450 on repairs, but she's running great.

if they are weld on tips, which im hopin they are, then they need to be the same size

yeah that seems to make sense to me too. However, it won't hurt to ask the people at the shop, since they'll be the ones putting them on.

even if they are bolt on tips, you need the same size.

tjames · November 16th, 2007, 06:38 PM
