My new tips yay or nay?
These are the tips I had installed on my new catback, still not sure if I like it yet. I wanted some sqaure/rectangle tips but the shop was out of the smaller sized ones, he knocked down the price if I went with these since the other ones were on back order. The Flo-Pro muffler sounds ok but not as loud an idle as I wanted or was expecting. Does sound nasty when u get on it though.

Re: My new tips yay or nay?
They are OK. Personally I prefer the stock look on these cars in which you can't really see the exhaust at all.

Same style I have. I just have mine sanded and painted black. Don't like chrome.

Re: My new tips yay or nay?
If you could push them forward about 2" so that they didn't stick out, I'd love them.

Re: My new tips yay or nay?
Those look like the tips im gana get. i just ordered them along with the 12265 magnaflow muffler. Im going to do what willie did but the cut outs in the bumper high enough to make the bottom of the tips flush with the bumper

Re: My new tips yay or nay?
I like how the tips are from a distance they flow pretty good with the car. When you're up close they look like they could stand to be tucked in an inch or so.
As for the tips themselves they are a stainless steel WickedFlow brand tip. I'm pretty sure many other companies sell the same style tip.

Re: My new tips yay or nay?
The tips i used are Vibrant tips and were very cheap in cost. I think they where around $50 for the set. They seem like a decent quality and look amazing. 3 days after i had this done my sister went to grab something out of the hatch and burnt a corner shape into her leg! haha i cant help but laugh at her
