Here's my 3.5" round, 18" long, stainless steel tips with a 15* angle cut and rolled tip.

They're Magnaflow tips.

28 spline... theres a definite difference in the gears from 2.73 to 3.23... doesnt kill gas milage either... gets you off the line 100X better than 2.73

Thank you.

It actually has a big problem now.

I got hit. All the poor car was doing was sitting on the side of the road!!

Here's a link to describe what happened.
