Shiny Exhaust tip?
 
I've been thinking about getting a cheap nice exhaust tip for my truck. WAIT I know what you're thinking, no I don't want one of those loud fart can tips like on a Civic. I just want something to replace the rusty tip that is stock.

I think you can get a tip that you just have to cut off the stock tip and then the new one clamps onto the end of the pipe where you cut the old one off. I would want something like that so I wouldn't have to weld anything.

BTW it's a 96 4banger.

I just put one on that you are talking about. I also got a 4 banger. If ya want, I can get a pick.

Thorny073 07-19-2008 05:57 PM

seth556 07-19-2008 06:02 PM

Thorny073 07-19-2008 06:07 PM

Got mine from Advance Auto for $9. It isn't rusting.

seth556 07-19-2008 06:25 PM

I'll go measure the pipe and get one, thanks.

Or, you could go for a Gibson ss cat back:

seth556 07-19-2008 06:34 PM

Thats basically what I want. How much did you pay for it?

you can probally get the tip from a auto parts store or gibson website...either way the tip will be around 20 plus

The tip is going on a 2.5" pipe with the Gibson system.

seth556 07-20-2008 06:31 PM

Today I picked up a dual tip. Looks much better than before, definitely not the best it could look, but a whole lot better than what it did look like. But it looks good enough that I'm not going to worry about it again.

Sorry, the stainless steel system won't rust....mine was 6 years old when I took the pictures.....

pace51 07-20-2008 06:57 PM

The tip is cheap stainless. And it wasn't much rust as it was all pitted up. I put the system on my turck the month I got it and I had to take the tips off last year cuz they looked nasty Won't be long and that galvenised pipe you got will be all rusted up and looking like crap. I'll post a pic of mine next week when I get a chance.

Again, I have the stainless system, and the pipe is stainless.
