Any 91-92 birds have cannon exhaust tips?

I was in an Exhaust shop today when I noticed the exhaust tips they were selling. I was thinking of swapping out my LT1 Z28 tips for some 3 or 3-1/2 inch cannon tips. My old 1985 T/A had them and looked great. I was just wondering if anyone on here had some pics of them on their 91-92 birds.

You are very particular.

And that's great. In matters of taste, there is no right or wrong.



What are your thoughts on convertible third gens?

Take 1 junk top/frame assembly, liberally apply fiberglass and resin to form mold, attach factory style hinges to the front of the "mold", brainstorm way to hold back down and place window in back.

Way simplfied I know, but I thought about doing it with my crappy top/frame assembly I have laying around. Just another project that will never make it past "wouldn't it be cool!" phase.

I now have a ton of extra vert parts laying around. A few passenger side seatbelt pillar caps, an extra set of trunk plastics, extra top & frame assembly, extra bare tonneau, extra cable & handle setup for top release, etc. . . . .

Those ones are alright, but I'd prefer dump pipes behind the bumper myself. I'm with the guy that said they should be 'inside' the bumper when they come out.

Hey Post Hi-jackers, stop replying. I didn't ask about dumps or your opinion on where pipes should come from. Start your own threads.
