Muffler Tips? Which ones?

I just got my stillen rear lip and the stock muffler tips look like they should be on a civic. I was interested if any of you guys replaced just the tips for bigger ones. Where do you get them and what diameter you guys get them. I dont want them to be too big. I just want them to fit well in the lip. I dont want a new exhaust because i like it quite. But i do like the way cattman tips look like. So please help me out on where to get them and how much they are? what would you recoment? THANK YOU

so they are $35 a piece? Can i get them any where cheaper?

Did you have to weld them on or just screw them on?

Did you have to cut the old tips off?

This is the same guy I bought them from. 20/each. The old ones screwed right out for me and an exhaust shop charged me almost nothing to install em.

These are screw on tips from Walmart. 100% Stainless steel and cost me $14. I am sure they could be welded on as well.

The reason "ricers" have loud cars is because changed the muffler(among other things), the tip is just for looks and does not change the sound.

the way i look at it is this: spend 100 on two $40 tips + them welded in for $20. OR get a custom exhaust for 350 installed...for a litle more you get alot more. that is if you want a catback. they are all sound...

or buy a prefabbed one for 500...

but if you wish to keep the stock exhaust and muffler get those magnaflows they look hot.

I got the 2 magnaflow tips for $40 shipped.

Just shop around and you'll find the best deal guys. I wouldn't of spent $100 just on tips...

I think I got em when they had a sale or something.

They do look good though, I got em since I wanted the stock look.
