Default Anyone think my T/A would look stupid without exhaust tips?

Well I wanna go with true dual exhaust on my '96 Trans Am. The only thing that is holding me from doing it (besides money) is that I don't wanna have it without exhaust tips. All together, I have seen like 2 or 3 Trans Am's at San Antonio Raceway whenever Midnight Madness is held, and they don't look that great. I wanna run long tubes headers to and x-pip,e and then to some dynomax bullets and have the exhaust dumped before the rear end. Anyone have any ideas?

A T/A without exhaust tips just looks like somethings missing. I work with a guy that did that to his 00 GT (turndowns) and it looks horrible. Leave the tips just do cutouts. So it still looks good yet it has the sound your after. My buddy did that with his 2000 T/A (Headers/No Cats/Borlas/Cutouts) and it sounded awesome and looked great.

Well would it be best if I still get long tube headers, cause I'm kinda on a budget here. If I was to go with a y-pipe and a cat-back exhaust I would probably get BBK shorty headers with the y-pipe then go with a nice cat-back exhaust. What do ya'll think?

This Trans Am looks sick! I like how the CETA is painted black. I wanna do that with mine, I just might do it this weekend if I get a chance. My Dad is going to help me out with my hood. I'm gonna order a '98 style ram air hood and I'm gonna have him mold the ram air part onto my '96 hood.

Damn, those T/A's look sick without tips. It looks good cause that one piece is painted black and you can't really notice there isn't tips. Well I guess I'm going with no tips. I like the way that white WS6 looks, thats how my T/A would look if I paint that CETA thing black.

i'm not a fan of T/A's without tips. if you want to dump the exhaust before the axle, maybe there is a way to still mount just tips with a short length of pipe to reach the hanger mounts.
