i got some 5" chromes like on the red one except mine are slash cut. the only thing i dont like is they come down at a slight angle rather than level because its aftermarket exhaust but fits exactly like stock with the hidden tips so the chrome cleans it up and gives it a little more sound from the side they look bad ***

Those are 16" Centerline Alloys. They are pretty popular on Jeep Wrangles (i've seen about 10 of those).

I like the pipes on a 3rd gen to be massive and bulky. Although the sport coupe has a skinnyer (and ugglyer to me) body than RS and Z28 i still think they look better with bigger pipes.
BTW what were they thinking when they designed the sport coupe anyways ? It looks so uggly with that skinny body and that weird bumper. And the funny thing is the 4th gens are made to look more like sport coupes than RS and Z28s

it's not skinnier...not real sure where you're getting that..it's no different from a z28 or rs except it has no ground effects. It's all kinda a matter of opinion as to whether you like ground effects or not, only real differences beside looks is that sport coupes are slightly faster and slightly more fuel efficient, with the same engine, due to the reduced frontal area's decrease in drag...

i dunno what your talking about with 4th gens...all camaros are sport coupes until the ground effects/badging is put on...so third gens are "made to look like sport coupes" just as you say fourth gens are...and the bumper thats so weird to you is, once again, the same as a sport coupe's except for the ground effects...

and "uggly" is spelled with one "g" for future reference

Hey I know those exhaust pipes...lol...they are mine. hehe For anyone who is interested they are 3 1/2" in diameter and 18" long. I went with an 18" long tip so it would tuck up under the car more. I hate the look of a nice shinny exhaust tip only too see a crappy looking rust colored pipe it is attached to.

Ryan

BTW...they are mounted less than 1/2" from the bottom of the bumper...which gives it that look of being almost attached to the bumper which I like. And they don't melt the paint at all. Not a big fan of pipes that hang an inch or two below the bumper.

Personally I think the 3 1/2" looks great. 4" is too big and the 3's just look ok but I prefer the 3 1/2's.
