Was that $15 per exhaust or for both? I am just trying to get some prices to compare. I need to get tips installed too.

Thanks.

Looks great! I'm actually looking into getting a pair for my 1st gen GS. Does anyone know if this will fit the 1st gen GS and where I can find the best deal for them?

How did the Shop install your tips? Did they just remove your original tips and weld on the Borlas? Did they cut off the small pipe that is sticking out of the muffler?

It was $15 to install both tips and they just removed the old tips and Tac welded the new ones on. I was in and out of the shop in 10 mins. I'm not sure if it will fit a first gen, but I don't see why not. They are pretty much universal tips. PM DrewGS4 and he can get them for you. He is real easy to work with, just mailed him a money order and he was prompt and getting them for me. I looked around for a while for tips and these are by far the best ones that I have seen. I really wanted to get some L-Tuned tips, but those are impossible to come by...but I am happy that I got these.

Cleared My camera out for two more pics. I think this angle gives you a better perspective.

They look nice for tips, not too big and not too small. They appear to be ever so slightly bigger than my borlas, but I like em. Hope you enjoy them and they appear to be a great alternative to those who don't want to or lack the funds to upgrade to the borla exhaust. Enjoy them and keep em shiny
