Default Looking for tips for muffler delete

I am thinking of getting a muffler delete but I would like some nice looking tips to go along with it.

Any suggestions? (Pictures included would be great!)


By the way, car is '07 is350 (Smoky Granite Mica)

Thanks!

Why don't you just google some?

so many questions of preference...

do you want steel or titanium?
angeled tip or straight?
what color? Silver steel? Burnt blue? Matte black?
what length? How far do you want the tip to poke out?
What size? 2.5"? 3"? 4"?
when you delete, what size piping are you putting on?
you want to remove your muffler and add a pipe or do you want to remove the muffler from the flange and add the pipe so that you can put your muffler back on?

Are you removing mid muffler (resonator) or rear mufflers?
2005-2008 Acura RL exhaust tips look great, similar to oval Honda S2000 tips, they are slightly angled and flow even nicer with rear bumper.

I'm thinking rear, as I want to keep resonator. Unless that sounds weird, in which case correct me please

Sounding loud doesn't equal sounding good. I would check out you tube to see videos of what you're after.

removing the resonator will get you a bit of a deeper sound and make it louder on WOT,

Removing the back mufflers on any car doesn't always sound the best.

You'll get drone.

If it was an ISF, the louder the better, on a V6?.. not so much,
