Re: Original Tail pipes question
walker and dynomax are the same comany (dynomax is walker's performance line), so they're likely _exactly_ the same unless they're different diameters.
Those appear to be shaped correctly but the originals did not have the ribbed style crush bends (although I've had walker/dynomax show them one way in the pics and them come the other, so that doesn't help you much).
A good exhaust shop with a tubing bender should be able to reproduce the factory ones close to exactly, just make what you see in those pics with regular tubing bender crush bends...

Re: Original Tail pipes question
Well, actually you need to cut off the tips of the slash cuts flat also... hopefully you know what I'm talking about- I just did a google search and couldn't find a pic...
