Tungsten Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 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?

Tungsten Posted February 12, 2010 Author Share Posted February 12, 2010 (edited) maybe cutting it off before the first wrinkle and adding something like this http://www.summitracing.com/parts/FLO-15360/ or this http://www.summitracing.com/parts/JEX-JAC200/ welding and tips may not go together well so i could get a clamping one http://www.summitracing.com/parts/PLT-PM582/?rtype=10 Edited February 12, 2010 by Tungsten Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nunya Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 Don't put down cheapie chrome tips... Mine would proably shine if I cleaned it. It's cold out though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dhardison Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 cut it off at the first wrinkle so that way it doesent show at all thats what i did That would get my vote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tungsten Posted February 13, 2010 Author Share Posted February 13, 2010 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4xKory Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tungsten Posted February 13, 2010 Author Share Posted February 13, 2010 i decided to go for clampy partly because its easier to clean it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ben10 Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 Why is it sticking out so far in the first place? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tungsten Posted February 14, 2010 Author Share Posted February 14, 2010 (edited) 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: http://www.amazon.com/Superior-28-6202-Stainless-Steel-Exhaust/dp/B000CPAW2O/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&s=automotive&qid=1266096034&sr=1-4 Edited February 14, 2010 by Tungsten Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just thought of another thing, if you ever bang up a clamp on, you can just get another and slap it on! =) Edited February 14, 2010 by 4xKory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tungsten Posted February 19, 2010 Author Share Posted February 19, 2010 (edited) 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.

nunya Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 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.

ac92pathfinder Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 i feel my sticks out far. the person who had it before me went to the dealer and had the exhaust replaced there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhardison Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 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.
