Muffler tips ..pics

got some 3 inchers welded on today. they came out better than i expected considering they're just some cheapo chrome tips from pep boys. didn't want to dig too deep into the pockets until i'm ready to redo the exhaust system. this is for looks only. what do you all think?









feel free to add on if you all have any pics of your tips you'd like to share.

not bad, but can you pull them up a bit...they seem to be pointed a little downward - perhaps you get a shorter hanger for the muffler, so they tuck in better to the notch in the rear valence.....

thanks for the feedback guys.

i noticed that the muffler seemed to hang a little low. they raised it a couple inches from where it sat before, but in retrospect it does look like it could sit a little closer to the bumper. i'll see what we can work with on that..

welding the tips on cost me $30.

808: I was inspired and finally got off my a$$ and ordered those after seeing them on your car, Asu's, and a couple others...

Best price I found was $40.47 shipped here at: http://www.bestautopartsonline.com/tips2.htm

They look pretty good, the muffler could be tucked in. I can't see mine when I'm standing far from the side of my car, I don't see the muffler but the tips. I was thinking about getting the tips like yours done since I don't like that stupid factory tip that looks like a vaccum attachment.
