They aim your exhaust down towards the pavement for safe exit...you dont want to just "cut" your "tips" "3 inches back" because your exhaust will exit directly under the gas tank. This will heat up your gas ***REDUCING*** mpg. Also, your fuel pump(s) is fuel-cooled. the hotter the gas in your tank, the more problems you will have with your fuel pump.it may also melt your gas tank cover allowing dirt and water to get on your tank speeding up any rusting that may be occuring.damaging that cover also leaves it open to road debris to damage it...also, exhaust is alot more complex than people think. making an engine "flow better" is basically the "right idea." BUT, when it comes to exhaust there are MANY other variables to take into account.ANYWAYS, removing your tips after your muffler and replacing them with turn-downs will:be illigal in some states where emissions is required (colorado requires exhaust to exit past the passenger compartment. for example)be track-legalbe safer than just cutting the tips.give you the option to go back to running your tips ifyou dont like the turn-downs.make your exhaust invisible (for the most part) from the back of the car.make a *slight* change in sound.make your exhaust *appear* louder (simply because it will be sitting closer to your window.)make a *slight* change in performance/MPG --you wont be able to notice--here is a link to a product that may or may not work for your application....<a href="http://www.jegs.com/i/PYPES/958/PVD10/10002/-1" target="_blank">http://www.jegs.com/i/PYPES/958/PVD10/10002/-1</a>but you get the idea.</blockquote>
