Default Exhaust Tip for STS turbo

Hello. I am seriously considering purchasing the STS turbo thanks to reading all of the posts here for the past couple days. But I have one question...

Since the STS turbo replaces your muffler, won't your car have a single exhaust outlet instead of two? Right now I have the SLP exhaust with dual/dual tips and it looks good. But what will I do when I get the turbo installed? Can you guys post some pics of the backs of your Camaros or at least tell me what would look the best? Hehe, I was thinking of putting a 6 inch diameter tip ala Honda so I could have the first "Rice-aro". Thank you in advance, and I hope you welcome me to your great forum!

I think the SLP Center Mount Exhaust would be a great option.... but that will be later...

There is a center exit option on the STS system. It looks good on the Camaro.

So what do you guys think of putting a "folgers coffee can" tip on my car? I know it sounds funny but I think it would be cool if I try to be different. My friends are giving me crap for it. One guy threatened to shoot bullet holes on my car if I did that. But I just thought it would be cool to be a little different. And since my car is black, the Z28 badges don't show, so having a single exhaust outlet would give me a sleeper effect.

Big coffee can tip is not original. AND...it is very very

Even if you blow the doors off me, it would still look stupid. I have seen it on a Camaro before, he had 2 actually. HUGE tips....so retarded!

Two medium sized tips polished chrome would be much better.

we use the dual 3" tip from Corsa, it looks good. My car has dual tips but only on one side.

Back in 98 when chevy released the SS with one tip I thought it was kind of cool that they stopped pretending to have dual exhaust but everybody freaked out. Fbodies have single exhaust why add the weight and cost of dual tips or quad tips? For me personally having dual tips is about as cool as the dual exhaust muffler that was offered on the Pontiac sunfire. Too bad nobody has
come up with those cool dual inline tips that were on the Smokey and the Bandit screamin chicken.

Just find a cool tip you like and clamp it on. Then you can make fun of everybody else for having fake dual exhaust.

One of our sponsors has an excellent example of what can be done with the exhaust on the STS kit. I kinda like the center mount. Reminds me of a Viper type setup. Look at the pictures an you will see what I mean.

Hey brady. Can you tell me what your car runs with stock except the STS turbo in it? I would really like to know before I go out and buy one. Thanks. Anyone else who has a pretty much stock ls1 with STS turbo is welcome to brag too! And the only reason why I want a ricer style tip is to be different. I know it looks kinda , but I'll be the only V8 with one. And plus, when people laugh at me, I'll just laugh back by smoking them with my new turbo!

You get the standard exhaust system from STS them go to any exhaust shop and they should be able to convert it back to dual exits.

I like the idea of the sleeper look. My car is a v6 car originally, so it has no badges at all. Going to a single tailpipe would complete the look.... The coffee can would be overkill though, I think.

I don't know what my car runs yet, the track here has been closed since September. The base kit is good for about a second drop in the 1/4. I ran a stock '02SS on the street the other day and it was no contest, I pulled on him real hard like.
