Default tips or no tips.... that is the question

I have some weak sauce slp dual/dual tips and im going to change up my exhaust w/ a 10 series flowmaster w/ turndown used. should i just keep my tail pipes and connect the 10 series to them? or should i just get rid of it entirely and just use the turn down?

Tips or no tips?

As usual I seem on the wrong side of the majority here again but I like tips on a Z. I think 4" tips is going a little overboard and some people have them sticking out too far but I like my 34 dollar stainless tips.

REQUESTING PICS

and flowmasters to not lose you power, yes they sound like a tin can... thats what a hot rod should sound like, not all this deep droneass burble ****! put a 69 camaro with turndowns/longtubes next to mine and theyre gonna sound the same!

And the guy with the T/D single flow, are those straight duals or x/h pipe, i have 3 inch x-pipe with single chambers and it sounds gorgeous

No tips Like a TD setup or hidden turndowns like I run on my TSP Rumbler.





Actually I'm thinking of cutting off all the piping right after the muffler under the car and doing a simple turndown or a dual exit right in front of the rear wheels.
