I've got those on my Firebird, they look sweet. I like them so much that when I upgrade to a Dynomax this spring, I'm having them transfered over. I'll see if I can get a picture in for you tomorrow.

I had mine chrome plated. I've been told that my exhaust looks "intimidating". Nice compliment, I think:

Those photos look great. Any idea for sources and price to pay? Seems that used ones would be the way to go....

Sorry I never got that picture in, lost it somewhere. Mine are actually in contact with the underside of the rear bumper cover, and they've never caused any problem.

No problems whatsoever in over one year I've had them. I like them as close to the body as possible. I did cut out a portion of the rear bumper cover just above the tips though.

That definitely is the way to go...

Time to scour the junkyards for tips. The square look just fits in so well with the angles in our cars!!!

Thanks guys!
