I'm surprised at all the people wanting "big tips".

I'm exactly the opposite, and have painted multiple stainless exhaust systems flat black in my day. I like the test design, and would like it even better if it were black, or a flat steel.

I've solved the shine issue with my current Borla by never cleaning the tips.

Any chance of a cheaper version without the valve for those who don't give a crap about being quiet

I just want some simple tips. That way it does not look like you have done much with the car IE stock. Some people say aww aint that cute. Then you can let the beast loose and .... TA DAAAAA.

Crap, man whats in that little car!??? Hey, I am in Nebraska. 4x4 lifted chevys don't stand much of a chance.

Hmm, I can't believe I'm saying this, but looks a bit much. Love the color though, just cut that back a bit more than half and I'd be down.

Maybe you could cut the stock tips and weld them to the new exhaust? Or would the stock tips not fit right?

The stock tips wouldn't flow enough for this exhaust.

the tips are currently similar to the miltek's but they are not the finished design my back has had a relapse so it is hard to sit at the computer

SpiderX,

This Beta testing is gonna kill you

. No wonder Randy didn't do his own testing

. Thank God your not testing suspension components

.
What you need is a massage with a happy ending - might not help your back but atleast you'd be smile'in

AHHHH

...Matt, I can't believe you said that

This was custom made for Msfitoy. If you have one made up, make sure you cut that back a bit more than half
