Another question for those with Dynomax-tailpipes

Did you guys use the tailpipes that came with the cat-back, or some other tail pipes and tips? Right now I'm using the angled baloney slice tail pipes that come with it, but I'd like to get my tail pipes t come out past the bumper, so it's a little quieter in the car.

Any ideas? Pics? Part #'s? Prices?

I used the dynomax tailpipes. You can't just add a tip to them, though. That angled-slash cut isn't a perfect circle, it's flattened a bit. So you'll have to cut the angled section of pipe off the tailpipe. Then you'll get a perfectly round 2.5 inch pipe that will be pointed straight back. I have Megs chrome round rolled-edge tips on my Firebird, part #4010X. http://coneengineering.com/megs/rolled.htm The stupid things don't have a 2.5" inlet, so I had to notch the inlet, and use an exhaust pipe spreader to strech the inlet to 2.5". Then I used a wide band clamp to connect the two. One of these days, now that I have a welder, I'll weld the tips to the pipes... but it's not on my list of important things to do.

HEY that's my car! LOL, the tails are just chrome 2.5" from the shop where we got the Flowmaster installed, they were on the rack of pipes to choose from.
