Default My custom JP style mufflers

wassup dudes
i've always wanted to get the JP type 2 mufflers but thats way outta my budget.
so what im doing is making some custom ones from these sick tips.
i just got the tips today but i will take more pics after i get em made.
12 inches, stainless steel with 45 degree angle. a nice 3.5" exit looks sick imo

heres pics of the tipss





i will update as i get them made

Thats what I did on mines for awhile i love it.... just make sure you spray the inside down with some bbq grill spray those heat spray so it doesnt rust inside later on.

Here's how mines looks like... I forgot the size but I dont think its a 3.5 outlet though... kinda smaller than yours I think... Enjoy!








not a good view here but, I think you can make it out...

They are stock gs300 exhaust with the tips like the OP... =)

Everybody thinks its a actual aftermarket exhaust but Ive been trailed by tons of police assuming they're trying to get a noise level citation for me but then they flip a U and I continue smiling and driving.

word! lol thats why i did this... maybe one day just one day I'll actually buy the JP type 2's....

How did I get it soo shiney??

Well with an advice from another member on here, I forgot his username and it has been a long time, I had asked him for some tips because he did it to his first then I started, it took a long whole day of work of sanding sanding sanding elbow grease polish more sanding polish 3 other friends help then pizza and beer afterward for the accomplishments. I pretty much sanded 90% of the canister not just that front face. I forgot what grit I started with but I think it was like 500, 800, 1000, 2000, lots of 2000.
