Default Those with magnaflow catback....

Did yours come with holes on the bottom of the tips??wtf. There is a single hole, like 1/3" on the bottom of each tip, right near the end. Looks absolutly horrible. It cant be for water drainage or anything, as its like an inch from the end of the tip. WTF?!!?! Ive never noticed this before on others cars....

I have them too. They are drain holes for condensation.

Yeah mine had them also. I too believe they are drain holes for condensation. Once the inside of your pipes turn black you'll never see it. I cannot believe you can see them now with it installed unless your car sits up like a 4x4.

Yeah, over time water can settle inside that lip and rust it out.

the holes are for the screws that hold in sound reducers.... you mostly only see it on the anoying *** ricer exhaust.. my buddy's was so loud at times he used the reducers to quiet things down alittle and the hole is where it screws in place... but its not like any of us are going to use sound reducers..haha....

Every set of Magnaflow tips I have seen have the holes in the bottom. My buddies for his dodge 1500 and the ones I had on my Tahoe were the same. I figure it's for water to drain out and condensation.
