Default Just The Tip

Has anyone changed their exhaust tips? I've painted mine flat black, but I'd like to go with something bigger like 4-5 inch tips in chrome or black chrome. Have pics of your tips?

can tips change the sound at all or are they purely aesthetic ?

because in both cases i really need some new tips -look and sound ... when its cold out, like it is now, my exhaust kind of hits the low pressure under my spoiler and stays there while accelerating, my friend says it looks like my car is on fire and he cant read my plate its so bad

Tips can definitely change the sound.

When I changed the stock gxp tips off the borla mufflers I had to the tips I have on now, it got noticeably louder.

Could you provide some details on those tips? Do they stain easily like the stock tips or are they easy to clean? Price? Where did you buy them?

They look good. Also, I think you should move your "GXP" badge to the left.

Those are 4" ss tips I picked up off ebay. They have a 2.5" inlet

They are easier to clean than the stock tips for sure.

and that gxp badge has been moved to the left a few months ago hahah

Lol thanks.

So they're just double walled 4" stainless steel tips then? 2.5" inlet is stock right?

EDIT: These? http://cgi.ebay.com/270680871256

That's what I want too. For some reason, they don't sell the 2.5" in/4.0" out tips that come with the GXP kit as a separate entity.
