Default Exhaust tip flurry!




so as i'm getting closer to finishing up the appearence mod's on the SlvrTA (haha pretty clever huh, SlvrZ and SlvrTA ) anyways got side tracked...

oh yeah like i was saying, i'm looking right now at tips to get the rear end finished up, i'm doing dual tips on each side and since corsa's are at a premium of your right ********, they are out of price range (you live to see another day boys)
i saw these on flea-bay (dont know how i ever built a car without that site) and they look pretty nice. i remember seeing these on someones car on this site, but i cant remember what i ate for breakfast...much less a few months back.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2-STA...Q5fAccessories

i'm wanting to be alittle different and maybe try some tips that are slanted up (hey like JDM style yo!)

http://www.summitracing.com/parts/MPE-35166/



maybe someone can photoshop those on the rear of a TA or have a picture like that already?

anyways let the free for all brawl begin!

the ebay tips look nice, staggered and slanted should look good.

I have dual/dual styled hooker exhaust tips sitting in my basement. I bought them for my last car and I never put them on. This thread reminded me that I had them LOL.

If you're interested, I can go check the sizing on them.

Edit: Just realized you already ordered. I'm putting these tips in the parts for sale section. They're 2.5"/3.0"

i think corsa clones look awsome wen paired with that dual exit valence from 6LE..it frames the tips perfectly..much like the TA rear bumper does..if only i had enough $$ to buy one lol

Angled tips look like ****. I had some on my Corvette. They were on the car when I bought it. And I rightfully so took a lot of flak for them.

GMMG ovals look decent, but without a valance of any kind no tips look the best
