Default I can't stand a thief

I was at the Indy Bash in Indianapolis this past weekend and some asshat decided to help themselves to my GMMG exhaust tips... They managed to get one off, but failed to get the other. They just left it really crooked. Another guy lost both of his Corsa tips. This was at the hotel parking lot in the middle of 80 other fbodies Saturday night



Anyone know where I can get just 1 GMMG tip? I'd almost hate to get one off of ebay simply b/c it may be the one that i lost.


What a jackass.

Sorry to hear that, some people have no respect for other people's property. Maybe check with one of the sponsors, they might be willing/able to help you out. Good luck with it.

That sucks man People suck.

It'll probably be cheaper to get yourself a set of Corsa clones. They're only around $100 for both and they look a lot better IMO. Just something to consider. Then you can sell your GMMG tip and it may cost you next to nothing in the long run.

Haha.. i don't think he was being negative towards caprices... but possibly some of the stereotypical owners.





No, i didn't call the police. I had long left the hotel by the time i discovered it and figured the police would do very little, if anything. The odds of them recovering it are incredibly small. It just pisses me off. GMMG won't sell me just 1 tip either. They said they'd only sell the set.....$150

I never knew the tips made that much of a difference on sound, but the car sounds like crap right now. W/ the tips, the exhaust sound was exiting from behind the car whereas now, it's exiting under the car... making it a lot louder inside and sounds more like a redneck truck. I'll probably be ordering a new set here in the near future.

I like the corsa tips better as well.... but i'm not sure they're big enough. My favorites are the mecham tips , but they're too small as well.
