Default cut off my exhaust tips

and also got rid of Hawaii plates with rainbow. That's my temp tag until i get my personalized tag in a few weeks.

These are the b4 pix with the tips. They put them on uneven and one stuck out farther then the other So i couldn't take it anymore!


after pics with crappy camera! Also painted everything flat black under the car so it would hide more! Now i need to put some turn downs at the rear bumper.

Sorry, I like them on. I've got the same problem - mine are offset a little and it bugs the hell out of me, but I'm just going to deal with it until I either get a new muffler or just have the tubes from the muffler to the tip recut.

Yup same here only tips that will ever go back on my car will be CME or B&B tips

1. One stuck out more then the other
2. One came out level and the other was pointed down angle
3. They were not centered right
4. On Road trips they resonated the sound back in the car bad! Way quieter now!
5. It sounds deeper at idel now more like true dual sound
6. Looks mean from the rear! You can see my Red Lca relocation brakets hanging & lcas

What turndowns are you thinking about using? I haven't been able to find any that are short enough to not stick out too far. I just want a cheap set to complete the look.

Looks a lot better. No exhaust tips on Camaro's look the best.

I got them 4sale on local website LOL mine are 6 months old. You can get them at autozone new for $70-$80 new. One of mine has turned in color a little due to one tip getting more heat then the other. They say 3a racing on thetop but if you put then close to the bumper and not having them stick out you cant even see it
