Tucking the exhaust tip up higher

[Silentnoise713]

Not feeling the twin tip. It was better with the 4.5" alone. Btw, can you shoot a pic of the car from afar to see the size of the tip relative to the car?

Yeah.... twin tip looks a little odd. Unless you want to add vanes between the two to look like an old school Borla "intercooled" tip. Now that might be cool.

Thanks for the comments/opinions.

Here are a couple of zoomed out photos for size perspective on the 4.5" tip:

A tad too high-techie/sci-fi for my taste but looks good in it's own right and on the right car!

Thanks for posting pics.

The 4.5” tip does not “look” too terribly bad considering the large rear hatch door but it starts to look funny when you also see the shank. It would look worst on a standard passenger car. I debated on getting a Magnaflow exhaust (to free up the frame rails in hopes of a hitch) but they only come with 4” tips, which I “personally” had concerns it might be too big. I still feel anything over 4” is to large unless there’s something under the hood to back it up. Bottom line, as stated above, to each his own!

I like it. It adds some much needed weight to the rear of the car. It fits the cutout well.

In that case, I should have had a 7" tip on my Civic.

And I've always liked the Borla tip, but only in square and only in quads under a Vette...

I always thought this was photochopped! ). Keep the kids safe and play under the 4" rule

LMFAO! If this is not photchopped that is just utterly absurd!!

I think that's actually real... I'd probably do it to a beater just to piss people off. Maybe I'll turn the entire rear of the CRX I'm building into an exhaust tip.

Honestly though- my Civic was a total sleeper sedan. No clues as to speed, but ***** people all the time. You know, back when I was street/highway racing like an idiot.

Okay, a few more sleeps later and I needed to pick up some oil filters so I stopped at my local Canadian Tire store and found they had some very nice 3" stainless tips for only $16.49.

Here is a picture of three tips for comparison stock 2.25" with 2.5" finisher (left), new 2.25" to 3" rolled stainless tip (middle), 4.5" experimental tip (right)

Here are a couple of pictures of the 3" tip installed. Will replace the clamps and worm screws with welds, after a few sleeps.

The 3"er seems so small after the 4.5 you started with! LOL I love the look of both choices, as much because you fixed the "bent pipe" look of the factory exhaust as anything else.

 

[phunky.buddha]

I like the 3" just because it's not hacked and welded like your double pipe 4.5", but I liked the size of the 4.5" better.

What are you waiting for!? Assuming you want to keep it, cut off the rolled tip and it will look bigger. I like the 3" more but do admit everything looks small after the 4.5"er. LOL!

Final product, 3" tip welded in:

Looks good from here... but you can't see much in those photos.
