Not bad. I think the tips will make the car look almost like a L-Tuned exhaust from the rear.

All the tips i've been lookin at are welded. Can't seem to find any that look similar to these that I can screw on.

It's not the price. I've had exhausts on most of my cars and that's not what I'm going for. I want to keep my car quiet and add a little chrome to the rear. I like the tips but don't want the noise. I had magnaflow another car and don't want my G to sound lke that.

bigbea, if YOU like it, then get it. dont' forget, modding is to your own taste. imo, they look conservative and from what you say, may satisfy what you want.

I like. They are similar to the tips on the mufflers Ive got so Im kinda partial. Not hatin but imo you should save the money for something else, like some new wheels. Do what you think looks best, thats whats important!

Get the Magnaflow mufflers.. I put a lot of members on to these mufflers as I was amoung the first to have them for the 2nd gen GS4. Trust me, it is a pretty subtle muffler when it comes to cruising around town. No droning at all. The same should hold true for the GS3. I will drive you around in my car at the Jersey meet so you can experience the sound of the Magnaflows in person.
