Talking Exhaust Tips

I figured this is more appearance than "Exhaust".

Currently this is my Trans Am from the rear:



I'm looking at getting dual duals. I found some for $112. Will look like this:




Looks sick, right? Worth $112 though?? That's my question....

I agree, but it would look a lot better if you could paint it up

When i did my exhaust not that long ago i just took a wire brush/sandpaper to it to get most of the rust off then used a couple coats of high temp black paint. It looks a lot better specially if its fairly visible.

Got it, I wasn't sure what you were talking about at first! lol. That exhaust is not even old btw. Installed on the car just before I bought it back in May of 2011. Only put 6000 miles on the car since haha, and it looks like that. Have not driven it with salt on the road as my Jeep is my winter DD. It looks like that 'cause of the rain and crap.

I just ordered these btw. I personally absolutely love the dual dual look on the Trans Am, and the dual singles on the Camaro - this was my old LT1 Z28:

Yeah it looks pretty new, mine is my dd and i have driven it though all sorts of wonderful salty slush up north so it was horrible to say the least. It does make a nice touch though! Specially for that 1% of the time its on a lift

I just got those tips posted in the first pictures in 3.5" and love them. I need to snap some pics. I also am gonna try to tuck them up a bit maybe a half inch or so to get them exactly where I want them.
