heres a photoshop, im fairly certain im going to do this to my car eventually. I think it looks awesome. The only thing it could use is a metal plate along the top and left and right side of the opening.

 

i like it too.. looks like it belongs there if you ask me

 

That exhaust set up is really nice. Good work man.

 

i really expected more dislikes on it, keep the comments coming. I like the idea for two reasons first of all i think its the only way exhaust tips would ever look right on a third gen. Also it goes with the overall theme of my car where when i dont like the way something looks i just take a dremel too it and change it. Actually in the next 2 weeks ill have the front bumper cover and the custom stuff done to it and ill have pics up of that too so you guys know what im talking about

 

oh and this is the car the tips came off of. This pic was posted up here forever ago and im still trying to find some tips that look like this

 

Thats an idea I was thinking about. They don't look out of place like I thought they would. I say go for it, and if you do, let me know how they look in person.

 

I think the notch is cut a little too severe. Maybe just to the middle of the fx. Not bad though. nosaint did a mild notch with his t/a, looked very good.

 

yee when i get my LT1 tips polished Mirror like then im gonna cut out my bumper and have my exhaust bent to fit the tips like that. i cant wait............i think that is the best apperance mod you can do besides nice wheels to a thirdgen

 

hey whose sexy car is that u used for the photoshop?

 

19doug90 would you possibly do me a favor if you have time and photoshop some lt1 tips onto my car??? heres a pic if you would ill try to find one of some tips.

 

I didnt do the photoshop a friend did it for me. I cant decide if it would look good if the tips were lower then the edge of the gfx but since the rest of the bumper cover slopes down lower i think that might look kind of cool as well


No idea i got the picture from devian why is that your license plate up there?

 

dose not look good, at all

 

if you have it still handy, make another with the tips a little wider apart. base it on the 4th gen rear end, comparing the two the 3rd gen back looks like there closer... if u want..? maybe with singles as well? I konw i'd like to get dual 3.5" stainless steel tips that woudl look sweet but if I get those, I think i'd have them near the side like some people have, where u can faintly see the side of them, cuz I'd be wanting to have some curb appeal with those things

cheers

blake

 

i didnt do the photoshop but if you grab all the pics my friend could probably toss em up in like 3 seconds

 

yah that's a picture of my car the day i bought it... long time ago

i don't care about the plate... if anybody wants to steal my car they can go for it, just let me know in advance so that i can get the car appraised for insurance purposes lol

 

Here's nosaint's car and what I was referring to.. a mild notch...

 

that looks way nicer just notched

 

You could use the Borla double square intercooled tips for this; they look fairly close. I like it.

Here's the tip:

 

any bigger pics of nosaints car? is it just cut out? or did they cut it out and make the body mold around it on top of it??? looks really clean id be curious as to what tool they did that with.

and srry those borla tips are hideous

 

heres another pic, buddies doing one of it just notched too

 

poor photoshop but id agree on notched
doh forgot to attach pic

 

I swiped the picture (and I apologize to thieving the pic) from his website. You'll have to PM or email him for more details or larger pictures. His car is extremly clean though.

 

heres the notched pic, i think id probably do this over anything

 

i agree on the notches as well. would it be possible to get another photoshop with these tips and have it just notched??? thanks for the previous btw i am defenitly going to do it now!

 

srry dont think that last pic is gonna happen. Ive already asked for a bunch of chops and would probably ask for one more, but its a lot easier to take a car with no tips and chop tips onto it, then to try to move the tips up because he would then have to edit it so there would be something where the old tips used to be just more work then im going to ask him to do

 

it seems like im ahead yet then im not lol but i though of this and thought i would be different but guess not but its cool
i like it but i have mixed feelings about it i think it would sweet then i think it wouldnt look good i think i need to just try it or see it in person or something like that a reall picture but i have a pre 90 bumper with gfx and can some one chop the tips on there thanks

 

here are a couple links to some tips

uggg, hell no.

use the real thing or Square Z-28 tips, the smaller inner pipe on the one above looks cheap.

 

and of course the 35170 being the one i would want is the most expensive ack

 

i think those might be the B&B TriFlow tips.... if no one has answered yet

 

I think they would look the best with just a slight notch.

 

wouldnt the paint on the bumper get black like the import guys that have the muffler so close like that

 

any way you could grab a link to those i googled it and cant find that.


i would put a metal bracket around the opening so that shouldnt happen

 

clean your bumper.

 

yeah, it will if your neglect the car and don't wash it, eventually exhaust crap will collect on the bumper cover. Hell mine does that and doesnt even have tips.

 

Yep, they are B&B Triflow quads. Good luck finding a set. Also, to actually doing your idea, I think it looks like ***..

 

Half way in looks better (notched)

 

Im pretty sure your mufflers and tips wont go that high because they will hit the gas tank. Maybe Im wrong, but its possible it wont happen

 

thats a problem..........hitting the gas tank however it could be solved with some good exhaust work and a couple extremne bends. like someone said before its been done and i think it looks awesome.........you might have to sacrafice a little performance due to the severe bends tho.

 

is it just me or did he say borla exhaust tips are cheap???????

Borla makes the best performing **** out right now. They havea 1 million mile warentee, do any of your other tips have that kinda warentee. They are made out of true stainless stell, they will never rust/oxidize. Now think again and say borla is cheap.

 

actually....he said Borla LOOKS cheap, slow down.
and thats his personal opinion. My buddy has Borla on his 94 Formula and I dont really like them for looks or sound. The B&B Tri-Flo looks the best and sounds awesome, my bro has dual 3" stainless Tri-Flo on his corvette...its great

 

look this stuff up, borla exhaust system, including tips, are rating the highest outta any other. The tips posted above are intercooled, and they tone out the loud noise to make the exhaust sound purly tuff, not like over reving it. They are very very good systems.

 

I dont need to look it up. Im very aware of the performance Borla is capable of. All i was saying is that guy thinks it looks cheap. Its not the best thign in the world to some people....I prefer B&B. i dont care what the internet or their website or a warranty says. i know people who've had both and I have a preference and so does that other guy

 

well, if ya cant beat, then join em.

I love the look and sophistacation of those tips. They look.... well.... modern i guess. ANd they only look like that to make the tone sound better, borla is all about performance.


BUt if you dont like them, then thats cool.

Yeah, I'm not saying anything about the performance or durability of the tips, I just prefer a single pipe, without any of the extra 'stuff' around it like is pictured in that one borla pic.

I personally like either 3 inch chrome round exhaust, or the newer style Corvetter oval, or the square Z-28, personally as far as looks go, I think thats the way to go.


Ohhhhh, and I saw a car at the store the other day that reminded my of this thread. It was some form or r!ce, and they had cut their bumper cover to recess the exhaust a little. He even thought to use a metal surround to protect the bumper cover. Bad thing was, it was a crappy looking exhaust, and the metal surround was sticking out past the cover by around 3 inches. Everything was rusty and just plain looked crappy.

So make sure you pick up some good stainless for that surround, cut it exact, and take your time, i'm confident that with whichever tip you pick, it will look hella cool.

 

How's this?

 

that looks awesome

 

what about my tips guys, i like them.

 

ok ok, their not exactly tips but still. They're the Tail Pipes of my Edebrok Cat Back System. Edelbrok makes good stuff too guys, the tone is absolutely awesome if you'd like to check into that, i have a video somewhere of the exhaust, let me find it.
