after looking around everywhere for stock-like tips since I don't dig on the Borla intercooled tips (and the fact that they slanted downwards), i've finally found one that i like. it's the same custom tips as on DominicanS4's former Borla exhaust (he's going Milltek now). 3" angle-cut and rolled lip, just like stock (although the stock tips have a smaller diameter..2.5" i think).

here are a few shots of them. more in a few days. doesn't change the sound of the exhaust at all that i could notice. it actually adds 10hp since it doesn't look *** anymore. ;-) it's actually tucked a little too far in (could go out an inch) so i'm gonna have the shop loosen up the exhaust a bit.

Tips were $59 (T304 stainless steel Y-pipe..a chromed version is $49) and install was $20. It was done at Johnny Franklin Mufflers in San Rafael, CA (128 Bellam, across the highway from Sonnen Motors; they also have a location in Santa Rosa, CA). Talk to Jay or Dick and they'll take care of you. Real nice guys and they do good work.

Do they grow when warmed-up?

funkadelic

it's warmed up...it's just when it's cold the tips are about an inch shorter than what i would like. i'll have more pics to illustrate over the weekend.

All you have to do is get the inner tips cut.
