Protect your tips
Has anybody thought of a way to protect exhaust tips from draging to death when we drive threw bad gutters? I thought maybe cut a piece of 3 or 4 inch driveline and make a bracket to mount it to the bumper. put the piece of driveline around the tips so the weight of the car will drag on the metal loop instead of the tips. Or maybe caster wheels. I just gotta find something that works and looks good at the same time

Maybe have the tips not poke out far & hug the bumper a bit more ?
There are a few streets like that here,,, but my tips aren't but ½" under the back bumper and do not stick out,,, the nose scrapes the ground (no gfx) but no probs with the tips yet,, if I had a recent pic I'd post it for you

I agree. I hate the way some people have there 4" exaust tips having down almost touching the ground. Put them up closer to ur bumper and don't make them so damn big and stick out so far. They look goofy. Just my idea. GET THEM CUT AND LIFTED!
