Exhaust Tip Tips

[Tungsten]

This is how my new tailpipe looks:

 

 

Its a 2 inch pipe and it doesn't look very nice does it?

 

I was thinking of either angle cutting it or just cutting it and putting a nice tip on it.

I don't want to go to Autozone or Advance Auto Parts for one because chances are the chrome on them will be gone in a few weeks.

Can anyone recommend something nice?

cut it off at the first wrinkle so that way it doesent show at all thats what i did

[nismothunder]

Check out summit,they have some nice ones,I'm not really a tip man but some of them have caught my eye.

[Tungsten]

maybe cutting it off before the first wrinkle and adding something like this

welding and tips may not go together well so i could get a clamping one

Don't put down cheapie chrome tips... Mine would proably shine if I cleaned it. It's cold out though

[OldSlowReliable]

HAHA, I should show you a pic of MY exhaust tip!

 

Rusty, smashed, black, and ripped up a new style?

[dhardison]

That would get my vote.

[Tungsten]

Yeah I hate how it exits to the side...

If I was to get a tip should I get a clamping one or a weld-on?

Id say weld it if you have the tools. If not just get a clampy.

 

If your going to weld it on, cut it so there are no nubbs on it.

 

If your going to get a clamp on, cut it so there is one nubb on it, that way you can make sure it doesnt fall off.

 

just my cheers!

[Tungsten]

i decided to go for clampy partly because its easier to clean it

Why is it sticking out so far in the first place?

I have a custom exhaust and a stock tailpipe from NAPA and thats how it came out.

 

 

This is the tip I got:

Hey that looks nice man, cant wait to see it on!

 

Just thought of another thing, if you ever bang up a clamp on, you can just get another and slap it on! =)

Just got it today, I think its going to exit more to the back instead of to the side, I am planning to cut that last whole bend off.

[4xKory]

sweet I wanna see that baby on!

[nunya]

Could leave a "little" bit of bend and give it that 'tucked in the corner' slight angle look

 

 

I'll keep my 'hanging out in the middle of friggin nowhere' slightly cocked forward tip. And I did clean it over the weekend (yea, I cleaned my "bling". All my chrome shined for a couple hours) it will still shine and it gets killed with road grime.

[Kingman]

Does it have to stick out 8" past the fender?

[nunya]

He is gonna cut his back Kingman

i feel my sticks out far. the person who had it before me went to the dealer and had the exhaust replaced there.

Here's a shot that shows my factory tailpipe. My truck still has the original factory exhaust except for the catalytic converter. It does stick out some but I've seen a lot worse.

 

[ac92pathfinder]

same here...
