Screw stock oval tips, quad tips are bad ass and way more aggressive looking if that's what you want.

Here's a better look at the tips from a normal point of view. I actually think they look more aggressive than stock while maintaining the fundamental design.


On the X

Let me make sure I understand this.

You removed both rear mufflers/resonators and replaced them with.... Strait pipe?.
And the only "muffling" that is being done is by the tips? Which were how much $$$?

Did you also do the X pipe thing?

This sounds like a win, win! It's 50 lbs lighter, sounds nasty mean and I will guess that it is cheaper then replacing the entire muffler.

Thanks

I replaced the resonator with the magnaflow muffler that has a built in x-pipe design, removed the stock mufflers and put the baffled tips in their place.
