In case you're looking for the tips.

The fourthgen in the pic doesn't suit my tastes, but on a thirdgen with a more square butt, they might look pretty cool.

Re: 4th gen tips on 3rd gen irocs
i like the looks of dual pipes in back but why do we do it?
we run a single 3 inch exhaust pipe back to a muffler then we pretend its dual exhaust by putting dual pipes back there?
why not just keep it one pipe with a single muffler and one hidden exhaust pipe?

Re: 4th gen tips on 3rd gen irocs
I ran a single tip, straight back on the passenger, on my 92. It may have flowed a hair better, due to the lack of a crossflow muffler & less turns/bends in the pipe, but it just didn't look right.

Re: 4th gen tips on 3rd gen irocs
i think the square tips molded into the rear bumper would look great.

Re: 4th gen tips on 3rd gen irocs
Its not about "pretending" anything. Its about looks, balance & symmetry.
I ran a single tip, straight back on the passenger, on my 92. It may have flowed a hair better, due to the lack of a crossflow muffler & less turns/bends in the pipe, but it just didn't look right.

but does it effect performance?
to have one muffler with a dump right out, or a muffler where the exhaust has to flow back and forth to get to the second exhaust pipe.
i see that you did the same thing as i was thinking about. just goes to show that nothing i do is original.

Re: 4th gen tips on 3rd gen irocs
i love the square tips... i was planning on running them on my iroc. Also i think we put duals because first the older muscle cars had them and so the mid 80s muscle cars should to. And another big point is the sound. If its only one pipe or the pipes are side by side it sounds bad IMO. With the exhaust tips farther apart the sound is AWESOME!

Re: 4th gen tips on 3rd gen irocs
I have seen them on a few cars mainly Z28s and Irocs, and they looked awesome like they were supposed to be there.

Re: 4th gen tips on 3rd gen irocs
They kinda make me think of the end of a vacuum SOMETIMES but so times they just look damn sweet. I think having them coming out of the back bumper would look awesome.
