Default custom center mount tip

ive got one of the tips from ebay and i remember seeing someone who had the guy weld the 90* bends onto the tip so it was seamless. anyone have any pics or more info on this?

Stainless Design LLC in PA makes them.
The dude who had the 90*s welded on is ThorSS.
He had Stainless Design weld the 90*s before the tips were shipped out.
Thorr had to send in blueprints and I think the tips costed him around $330, that number could be wrong though.

Here are pics off my harddrive, I can't find the thread of his:

ive already spent $230 on them, so whats another $100 to make them look much better than having clamps haning out under the valence?

I can't disagree.

The man does beautiful work.
~$300 for fully stainless, fully polished tips with painted inners is worth it.

meh, the painted inners doesnt do much for me, since after a couple hundred miles they would look like that anyhow, but the quality of the tips is simply amazing.

How do i go about getting a cme this style and size and getting the 90's on it welded before shipped to me? i was interested in a price and i wonder if he can maybe out alittle more space inbetween the two ovals that way it fills out the valence on the outter sides of the ovals more flush look!!! let me know im interested....

You'd have to contact the seller.
I only remember what Thor had to go through.
He contacted Stainless Design with some measurements and they worked out a price.
Search for "center mount" under eBay Motors and the tip will pop up.

nice tips, but they need a rolled edge or something. They look kinda flimsy on the car

I agree, the craftsmanship looks very nice but if they had a 3/8 lip/flange around the tip they would look great.

I have been very happy with these tips that I got from him. If I remember he had a 2.5" and a 3" version. I have te 3" version. The quality of the tips is very good and these are a nice alternative to the factory SLP one's.
