Yea I tried this, took em off for about a month and when I wiped away all the dirt and ****, it burned the paint, turning the color and taking off the paint. DO NOT LEAVE THE TIPS OFF!

I ran some turn downs tucked up high for a while on my first catback (not visible from behind). Car looked clean.

You can get these over at spintechmufflers.com
They're slash cut tips. Air flows straight down with minimal bend in the pipe. Keeps a low profile.

I like the way my ta looked with tail pipes but since duals it does not look the same. I need to get the over the axle done up for sure.
