What tips do you think would look best?

bonestock3.8DTH · Feb 28, 2011

I was wondering what tips would look best on my car without looking ricey. I am asking you all because I love the 3 and 3.5 inch tips that most of yall have on your cars, but since I have a v6 car I dont want it to look all ricey (I know yall probley think putting dual exhuast in general is ricey) but I want something that will look good but not look ricer.

Those are the mufflers I want to run.

The stock tips are kinda tiny unless you got the stock 2.75" ones, I think 3" would be fine.

I used to have a 2003 Mustang V6, I had Mac Longtubes and H Pipe with Thrush Welded Mufflers on some fabbed up Summit Racing Tail Pipes. It was by far the best mufflers I liked on a V6 Mustang, and I went through a bunch of different ones. I got compliments on it all the time. They still got that kinda deep flowmaster sound with a nice twist and a much better price tag. This video sold me on getting them: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YZYMqxrgctE

I sold that car about a year ago and I see it around sometimes and it still sounds so nice for a V6.

I'd go with tips, I had it all the way out the rear, no dumps. You won't be dissapointed with it. Theres not many choices for a muffler that sounds good on a V6 and the majority go with Flowmasters since they sound decent, but why be like everyone else? If I ever bought a V6 again those Thrush Welded Mufflers would go back on it. Plus you can get 2 Thrush Welded Mufflers for less than the price of 1 Flowmaster. I never had a problem with them, I loved them. I think lost some MPG because I wanna to hear them all the time LOL. Oh, plus I didn't get that massive drone like you do with Flowmasters.

EDIT: I see you live in the same state as me.

I like 3 or 3.5" tips, I don't think anyone will say its rice, it's an upgrade that looks good and can help you in the future.

Right now I have stock chromed cobra tips because I am too cheap to buy big honkin ones but I will get some when I put my new bumper on lol.

Just make sure you have long tips because you can see back pretty far.

Yeah I agree about the flowmaster things everyone has them my budy had them on his last two camaros (yes two) and has a 10 series on his f-150 and my other friend has them on his blazer AND this other guy I know is putting a 10 series muffler on his v6 Camaro witch will sound like pooo.

But yeah what part of Virginia are you from?

I think its gotta go past the axel, not completely sure though. I don't worry about stuff for inspections anyways like cats or smog pump since my mechanic is a state inspector.

I think 3.5 tips would look decent, but I run dumps and I love them. Keeps people sorta guessing, but with slp lm1s you wont be guessing for long, lol

A 3'' rolled tip is sexy!!!

bonestock3.8DTH · Mar 3, 2011

I went to a shop to aply and for a job and they had some tips on display and they had these Magna flow look like 3inch tips that looked sick the were cut at an angle but not a rediculous angle except they want to much for them definetly could find them cheaper on ebay or some where else he wanted 60 bucks a pop for them.

g36 monkey · Mar 3, 2011

depends on how long they were and how good the chrome was. you would be surprised at how expensive tips get, one reason I havent gone after any yet.

rolled and slashed is my favorite, along with the weird roll thing borla does lol
