Cool exhaust tips...

Ok, so I don't want to go dual-dual (meaning dual tips on each end of a dual exhaust), for money reasons and because I think this look is neater personally:

http://www.autoanything.com/exhausts...A2441A0A0.aspx

But 55 bucks for an exhaust tip is a LOT... Does anyone know where to find an angled tip like this for less money or of some other brand? I spent some time looking but couldn't find a decent looking one

thx guys

Re: exhaust tips...

Well I'm here as usuall
Doing good, its Friday!

Heres a tip from Jegs Vipey $38 each, dont get much cheaper, and thier Hooker.


Jegs exhaust tips

They have those Hooker ones, the rest suck !!!

I just have ugly 2 1/2" pipe made into Duals.
Round, looks
But works fine, I cant see them back thier anyways

I'm looking for chrome square tips(on the ends).
Just looks cleaner IMO.

I'll keep checking Vipey.

Not necessarily that I don't like them, but they have to be stylish . I saw a 3000GT VR-4 with the ones I showed you guys and it looked hella sweet, but if I could find those, like that hooker one, I might just do it :P

That looks pretty cool... I wish it was angled more, but I might just settle with that

Re: exhaust tips...

hmmm I got a hint from my parents that I might be getting some "really big gifts this year" or a lot of money... so we'll see where this all fits into the picture

It's great being 2 months away from 21 and still getting shitloads of stuff from my parents lol

Re: exhaust tips...

If you are looking for inexpensive just check with any good muffler shop. They usually have a wide assortment of tips, just remember you get what you pay for.

Re: exhaust tips...

Wow.. what timing. My neighbor was just asking me about tips last week. He wanted to know if anyone makes replacement tips that simply slide over the existing stock GT tips. I told him I didn't know........

I believe he cannot get the stockers to shine, and he simply wants to slide new tips over the existing ones; without the need to cut & weld... Anyone know if those slip-on's are available?

over a stock GT's ? no, none that I know of that you can slide over those.. possible but it'd look funky

Maybe its a new Car ! :greedy:

Gir,
shiny tips are good for at least 10extra HP.
If they are chrome duals, well thats worth at least 30hp
If you have a blonde riding shotgun, we'll we all know what thats worth

Tommy,
those links above, and most all parts stores, carry a large assorment of single chrome tips that attach with a set screw or two. But you do get what you pay for.

Hate tips that get loose, rattle, FallOFF

Stainless steel tips are expensive,
but will last a lot longer then regular steal thats been chromed.

Edit>>>
Gir, I think he is talking about two singles just to cover the ends of the dual tips, not the whole thing....

Well I assume thats what he was refering to.
