Rolled edge, angle cut, dual duals. PICS!

I love the tips, and I love my car........I'm still undecided on the tips "on" the car. I like 'em, but I may just go back to stock turndowns....

I dunno.

....and I know the pipes aren't quite centered perfectly, but I'm gonna have to deal with it for a little while.

Looks ok imo.I don't like being able to see the weld where the tip begins.I like smooth pipes out of the muffler or a weld where you can not see it.Looks good though.

being younger, tho now.. id look for something else.

I like them. They seem to have some thickness to them which gives depth and quality look. What tips are they?

I like them, but not enough to say I love them.

If I saw your car, I wouldn't say "Ew, ugly tips" though. Well, I wouldn't say "Ew, ugly" anything about that car but you get what I'm saying

yeah, that's partially why I got 'em. It's different. I'm not gonna even think about changing them at LEAST till next spring.

...it's only been a few days, and there growing on me.

i hated my hooker tips when i got my catback, wanted to go with 3.5 or 4" round tips but now that i look at my car the dual tips make it look really aggressive.. although im HIGHLY considering getting some lt1 quare tips cause they look sooo purdy.,.. im just scared ill loose my intense sound going with a shallow tip.. anyone know if this is gonna drown my sound any?

They look pretty good. I too have swapped a few different tips on. Four years ago I swapped mufflers to a single out and put on a 3" polished stainless single tailpipe and like it mainly cause the profile always looks shiny and clean all the way to the muffler so you do not see any welds or different pipe between the tips and muffler. It bothers me a little when viewed from behind though as its 16 gauge and there is no "weight" look to it as your tips have with the rolled lips. I guess no matter what we run there is always something to knock... hmmm I think I may have just thoguht of another new mod for the winter to do list... but what design

i'd have to say i really like those. i agree with the statement that the thickness makes them look less cheap and higher quality than alot of other common exhaust tips. i wish the pep boys around here carried those, i'd buy them in a heartbeat, given they weren't made by apc or 3a racing or something...

hehe...they ARE made by 3A!!!! They're engraved on the top, which can't be seen, at least on my car. Like it or not, they are actually VERY well made. Easily some of the nicest looking dual dual I've seen from a quality point of view.

...don't write 'em off TOO early!

ok, i'll let it slide since you can't see the engraving and its not apc... (which is the worse of the two)

The dual/dual looks great. The rolled edge was an even better idea, I really like it.
