Re: Exhaust tips

I just went to a exhaust shop and told them what I was looking for. I paid $60 for both tips including installation. I think that they are 3.5 or 4 inch.

Re: Exhaust tips

im almost positive, if im near there next week ill stop in and let you know. everyone always tells me to go to pop's instead of fastgo. go to fastgo get a quote then drive to pop's and they will beat it with their first price and if they dont they will match fastgo's or beat it. and they have a better rep and everyone says they do way better work.

Re: Exhaust tips

I have a set of Magnaflow polished stainless 3.5" tips I'm looking to get rid of.
They have never been used. I decided on something a little different so I don't need these. I'd sell them for like $20

Re: Exhaust tips

I'll get some pics. The tips are 3.5" out with a 2.5 in. They are still mounted to my tail pipes, but I need to take them off for what I am planning.

Re: Exhaust tips

Re: Exhaust tips

Will they fit a 3rd gen? The overall bend to tip, looks too short match up with a 3rd gens muffler.

Well I need the 90* bends for my exhaust. They will be cut, with an exhaust tubbing cutter for a nice smooth cut, right at the weld. Then the polished part should slide right over a 2.5" inch pipe as that's how it is set up now. Very easy for an exhaust shop to weld on. As they sit right now they would go fine right on to any thirdgen muffler, they are off an LT1 setup. I'd sell them with the bends, but the would be more $$ since I would need to go buy 2 stainless 90* bends.
The polished part is like 20" long.

They are nice tips, but I am going for a different look with my setup.

I think that's just one of those optical illusions. The 3.5" pipe makes it seem shorter if that makes any sense lol.

Re: Exhaust tips

I had similar straight pipes for a while, but I like the look of a double-pipe exhaust tip, specially with gfx...
