Default Trans Am with no tips.... post'em

There are other threads I could bump but half the pictures don't work anymore. I have true duals ran out the back but they hit and just look like ***. They hit my old 10 bolt when it was in the car from hard launches. Launching on the 9" is going to suck as far as the exhaust hitting. Thinking of buying the tsp setup and dumping the exhaust. Can you guys show some pics of your ta without tips? Prefer black cars but anything will help.

no pics, but black cars certainly look best without the tips, or anything with the ceta mod done. the black makes it less noticeable that they're missing.

but, have you considered dummy tips? JasonWW on here did that and you'd never know the difference, it looked good. If i go dumps i'll either do that or run them out the back, i just can't get on board with the tip-less look for a t/a

I like the look of true duals on Camaros but TA bumpers look weird without tips, not bad though.

I have corsa clones but running true duals over the axle is just a pain in the ***. Going to dump them. Here is how it looks now. I like it but if they smacked my 10 bolt and rattled then it's going to be worse with the 9". Especially when I'm launching it at 6k at the track.

You could also fab up fake tips...ones that aren't connected to anything. that way you could have dumps AND tips.

Ever think of changing to a formula bumper? Btw my car is a formula with a TA wing, true duals with bullets dumped before the rear end. The formula bumper doesn't have such obvious spaces for the tips

Nah just gonna stick with the ta bumper. I was thinking of actually going back to the y pipe + cutout setup so I won't have banging exhaust everywhere. Get a cheap magnaflow or flowmaster with the single tips in the back. Every time I drive the car I have to polish these damn corsa cloens. sucks.

This is all I have of mine right now. I could get more if you want to see it from different angles. Want to sell those corsa clones? I've been considering going back with tips lately.

I was really set on going with true duals dumped but I really missed my cutout and I am going back to it. Bought a flowmaster merge, electric cutout and now on the hunt for a catback. A quiet one. So I'm keeping the tips.

So after hearing true duals in person im set on getting them and thinking about the dumped path lately.

Im thinking about dumping it under the car and running dummy tips so ill have the look and never have to clean them...anyone know how one would mount these tips only with no cat back?

You know I posted a thread about Trans am tip deletes not long ago. May be a bit ricey but what if we were to take those universal splitters (like from flebay) and mount them vertically in place of the tips. Maybe 2 per side, to give a diffuser look kinda like the Vipers rear diffuser.
