The Ractive tips are a bit smaller and more rounder (around the edge) than the 4.8 ones. Oh...it's about a third of the price too :D

Looks great! :thumbup:
Does the rear bumper have to remove when you install the tips ? :confused:

Yes because you need them welded.

I had purchased both sets. The 4.8 would actually fit over the Ractive's. The difference is really just the shape from square to oval round edges. The Ractive's again fit into the 4.8's.

I think the 4.8's are better but since I have a 3.0 I'm better off doing the Ractive option, BTW how much should I tell the muffler shop to cut from the tips so they'll fit?
TIA

hmmm idk the price of the ractive tips sounds good but which of the two actually sounds better???

swingkat420 05-18-2006 12:42 PM

Changing the tips wouldn't change any sound. The 4.8 looks great, but ractive tips looks just fine, as long as it's shortened.
