You got to wait another 3 years though

For the exhaust tips, stock is 3.5" already, but it's oval and the walls are thin, so it doesn't look as big.

For the length, you can go as long as 8-9" before having to remove a metal plate that extends from the exhaust can.

Nice upgrade on the flowmasters!!!

im not worried about the longest you can go. im worried about the shortest. all the tips im finding that i like are only around 5" or 6.5" long. i dont wanna buy nice tips and then not even have them reach the back of the bumper...

Yeah they come off easy, the OEM tips are sleaves w/ clip tabs that keep them in place. I saw the guy at the shop take them off, when he was asking me how far do I want the new tips to poke out.

Default Looking real good...

Hey Tee-
The LS is looking real good. I'm glad to see that it's turning out well for you. I think we may be starting a trend with the Flowmasters... they look awesome! Keep the pics coming, the transitions are coming out nice.

They are nice, IMO I liked the price of the Flows and they look just as good if now better. I think you should go with will suit your taste, b/c in the end they will be on your LS.

Hi,

Love the car and the pics, all I can offer is, I noticed that pics look better if they are full of car, so crop them afterwards to just show the car off
