I'm not a big fan of the single wall exhaust tips, makes it look cheap, for that kind of money they should be rolled double wall tips. I think I'll keep my stock 4.6is exhaust and go with some more aggressive looking tips like these, plus it's a lot cheaper option as I'm only after the look...lol!

I believe they're trying to keep the look as close to stock as possible... I think you may be the first person who ever used the word "cheap" to describe an Eisenmann exhaust!

, its just the single wall that would put me off. Personally I plumped for the 160x80 (I think) 'oval' back boxes for my 4.4, much akin to the look of the standard 4.6's. ![]() Would be good to see them on your beast, accompanied by some blips on the loud pedal-perhaps shut me and Romeo up...yes? |

1.Welding on those tips to the muffler is a bit gross and badly finished. A stainless steel weld can easily be made to be smooth and less noticeable. 2.Welding the support brackets on the main muffler body is not ideal as its the weakest point,best to weld them on the reinforced edges,but unfortunately ,others aftermarket companies are doing the same.To see how and where support brackets are welded ,just look at your stock mufflers! 3.Single wall tips are nothing more than a polished s/s pipe and are one way of cutting production costs.Just look at how much the 4.8is (beautiful) tips cost from your dealer

Done!
Install is done; it sounds great!
I'll try and take some pictures that do it justice, and maybe a quick video. As to the exhaust tip issue. On close inspection it looks like they're dual-wall and taper down to single wall; if that makes sense? In other words, when you look into the tip you can clearly see it's much thicker internally and has a metal mesh appearance. Kinda like this:

Can anyone answer my question?
BTW I do like the look of those tips with the double edge....classy. Like a leather bound book...
