Pea shooter with a nice tip

[dylly]

Right now I have a pea shooter for a tail pipe and I was wondering how to go about outfitting it with a nice chrome tip purely for looks of course. (Can't afford full exhaust overhaul right now). If anyone has any info or ideas please reply.

save your money, and the embarassment and wait till you get the money for a real exhaust...trust me on this. I just went a cheap route and it sucks ass. You will get laughed at for just having a tip on your car, I know this from experience.

he's right man... save yourself the embarassment and hold off for a real exaust. I only put a tip on my car for laughs...

[dylly]

Your right I should just wait. Whats the point in putting a tip on when the rest of it sounds and looks stock. Thanks for the advice dude.

my muffler has the tail-pipe rotten off and I'm still waiting on enough money to either mount my 3A Racing muffler or for a real exaust... hopefully a real exaust since I know a Rex in the junkyard with a Bro-speed exaust on it.

Back in high school there was a guy with a 97 EX coupe who though he was the shit, fake tip, sidemarkers with RED bulbs .. it was pretty sad.

DAMN U FOOLS MUST BE HELLA BROKE, EXHAUST ISN'T THAT MUCH UNLESS U HAVE TO HAVE A CAT-BACK SYSTEM

hm.......there is absolutely no point in just buying a muffler........because it adds absolutely no performance to your car........your exhaust can flow like hell but if the pipe all the way there can't......then...............well you know.......save for a cat back man.......don't even do axle back cuz thats as dumb as a tip in my opinion.......

[XxLuckyLisaxX]

still better than a tip man come on

[mellowboy]

Even a whole cat back dont do shit for ur car either.

Thats what I'm sayin'.. Like, you can get cheap universal mufflers all over the place, and go to an exhaust shop and have them custom bend you an entire cat-back portion for just a couple hundred bucks. If you really felt the need for an exhaust you'd know the only thing to do is to make it happen.

EDIT: I see you're from Ontario.. I too am from the wonderful North. Where in Ontario are you, I'm near London.

Not correct. The biggest difference is the muffler itself. A good axle back is an affordable mod that will help a lot. Mine did (all at the high end of course).

GRM a while back did an exhaust test and they got real good results with a decent muffler and muffler shop pipe. They compared this to a number of aftermarket exhaust systems. It wasn't even mandrel bent tubing. It was dirt cheap too.

Do not believe all that is written in brochures and ads. Remember they are tryin gto sell you something.

I recently decided to do the muffler shop thing. I had 2.25" pipe from the cat back, and a 'turbo' muffler installed, and did not get a resonator put on. I think it sounds pretty good, and except for the larger tail pipe coming out, it looks stock...and it DEFINITELY helped on the top end. I used to feel the car start to drop off a little after about 5000 RPM, but even the 1.5 pulls as hard as it is able up to 6500 RPM.

If you want to go cheaper and sleeper, do what I did. I went to a local shop and told them I wanted 2.5" pipe and no muffler. They ran me a pipe and put in a gutted resonator from a '00 celica (looks like a glasspak, flows like a pipe) to keep the cops off my back. They charged me $140, it sounds great, looks almost stock, and added noticeable power all across the power band, especially at the top end.
