Sweet You're who I needed If you can be a pal... If you can give a perfect side angle (close up) picture of them (or know of any links with a pic like that) that would be great. I want to make sure I have a as close of an angle as yours. And yea, single wall is awesome. And if you can (sorry for all requests ) how wide are the openings on your bumper and how much clearance on each side of the tips? ANY info is appreciated...

Now what did you mean by 'extensions'?

Extensions, they have slip on extendable tips (like what you are buying) to push out the exhaust tip further.

Default Finally getting tips installed!!! :D

Well the tips I ordered arrived last night... Going in in about an hour to get them installed very excited!

Any suggestions on how to position them? I would say straight out of course? and what, 3 inches protruding? I want them to look perfect Please advise... Remember, the small part of the tube will be cut off and then welded on:

At the moment I'm really unhappy with the outcome, dont really want to post any pics; just want to sleep it off..... If anyone is interested in these tips, I'll hack them off and sell them to you for a bit less. But they'll be coming already customed to fit your factory exhaust so price wont be too different. I payed a lot to get them to work so my loss your gain... rear 2.5 is hacked off and replaced with other tubing and ready to weld on to your exhaust. Let me know if you're interested.

Post some pictures man! You can't leave us hangin'! Why are you unhappy with the outcome?

If I were you, I'd have the inlet cut/welded at an angle to give the exhaust that skyward slant, then have the exit cut at a 30 degree angle, to give it the 'proper looking' cut slant for a JP style exhaust. I bet you could make these work if you try. Or are they too small? Too sunken in? What's the deal!

IDK. Mostly they arent big enough! Didnt think I would ever see myself buying a 5"+ tip... I'll wait for the sun tomorrow morning to get some 3/4 and rear shots... Also, I feel I may have extended them too far out... I NEED a JP or WINN wing to offset how far back they extend...

I suppose I like 'em, just not finished. I always knew I was gonna do these tips with one of the above wings, just didnt know that it was gonna look so bad as I waited to get that wing.

They stick out just fine. If they were oval shaped, or just wider you'd like them better, right?

Winn wing? Never heard of it.

Win Racing wing:





These tips were also my other option... may have been better off. We'll see... (if I ever get a wing )

Sorry wasnt thinking of lighting and such when I took the pics hope you can make out the tips. Upon further review, i may have come to terms with the tips... Even though I'd like to not have them sticking out so much (maybe an inch closer to body) I'm pretty confident that a wing will set it off. Any suggestions of what more I can do will be appreciated I'd still too would like to have had them 5" instead of 4 though...
