new exhaust tips
my knowledge on cars is pretty limited so please excuse me if this is stupid... but how exactly do i go about putting on new exhaust tips? do i have to measure my current stock exhaust and then get tips with identical measurements? or do i have to get a size larger so it slides over? thanks for any help in advance

You need to measure the outside diameter (OD) of your current tail pipes and then select a tip accordingly. Exhaust systems are advertised by their OD and exhaust tips are advertised by their ID (inside diameter). So if you have 1 3/4" tips than you need a 1 3/4" tip. You will then have to measure the length of the tip and cut that amount off the stock tail pipe so that when you slide it on they come to a location that is pleasing to you. A few tack welds will keep them in place.

I can use a simple tape measure to measure the OD, right?
