Yeah, i forgot, Actually i did mount em on to test em on my Revell iTR it it looked alright, cuz it is 1/25 scale. But for small cars such as Civic HB's or any small car i think it will go well with it, but for my SkylineR34 im building it just looked really.... tiny.

But exhaust that is to big makes so there is no back pressure thus defeating the purpose of the exhaust of high performance exhaust!

Those appear to be the right scale, heres an idea - scrap the styrene and go with K&S aluminum tubing , build em the same way and glue em with CA, now the cool part get out the metal polish and make them shine like crazy or give em a shot of dulll coat for the satin look, hmmmmmmmmmm I wonder if it would work to polish them and give em a shot of candy paint to give it the anodized look?

If styrene with BMF is shinier, you ain't polishing the right! Lol, just kidding.
Yes, polishing and shooting candy paint over them will work for an anodized look. I tried it with ink once - looked nice but it never fully dried....hmmm. Oh yeah, a coat of candy paint over the BMF -n- plastic tips will work too! HTH, Tim D. http://modelcartech.com
