Trying to find good exhaust tips.

[DF2Godfather]

I have a 04 Grand Am GT. I can't seem to find any great exhaust tips online. I was wondering if anyone had any good recommendations? And where I can order them from.

[Deggy Fresh]

find some Corvette C6 tips..thats what im planning on using when i get my exhaust done.

I have some oval reactive tips on mine. Nice stainless steel. Make sure they are stainless. Chrome just rusts in the winter.

Thanks man!!!
You mind if I order a set for mine? and maybe I'll have to get a set for the Camaro too! I love them.

[GtAudioFreak]

No problem , go for it. You don't live close to me so as long as there isn't another Grand Am driving around me with them I'm cool with it. The second I saw them I knew that's what I wanted. They fit perfect and are totally hot.

http://www.pfyc.com/pc/GN5003/GAEXH/Hedman+Exhaust+Tips.html I'm looking at these for my exhaust this spring/summer.

[Deggy Fresh]

Can't wait to get my C6 tips on my new exhaust in spring.

[Gagt518]

Dave are those C5 tips?

[nvmystyl]

BORLA is the best look for tips. Highly recommend them.

Dustin

[DF2Godfather]

I saw those too Blackhawk. They look pretty sweet. Little pricey but I think im leaning towards those. The Camaro tips are sweet too. Any idea where you got them from dave?

I sure did!!!. And I love the look. Also going to take the center bar out of the front bumper this spring, and add mesh in there. I think.

To tell ya the truth I used a sharp knife with a seraded (spelling?) blade. You can see the cuts unless you look under the bumper.

[Gagt518]

Any better shots Silver 4 Door? Like dead on?

[Silver 4 door]

I'll get some today and post them for ya's.

[Silver 4 door]

and I know all of you are going to say that they stick out too far, but if you look at them from the side they stick out so the end of them are the same as the end of the bumper.

[Gagt518]

Hmmm interesting.. Thanks!

[TEAM_AED]

I say go with MECHAM TIPS. Best looking tips in my opinion. Im gonna try and get these in the GTO. I had this tip on my YUKON. Tips is pricey, but look awesome!

No problem man. I took some new pix today, but Am in the prosses of changing to a labtop and took all of my programs off this computer.

[DF2Godfather]

I've decided to go with the 3" Hedmans. I'll have them around the end of Jan. or the begining of Feb.

[DF2Godfather]

Looks like I ran into a problem with the old exhaust system. Did the people who changed their tips have to change their entire exhaust system too?

[Silver 4 door]

do you have the stock GT muffler? I think it would be hard to put new tips on them, since the stock tips are part of the muffler. Well they look like they are. been long time since I seen a stcok muffler.

[DF2Godfather]

Ya I still have the stock. Problem is that on one side the tips are connected but on the other they are seperated. So for a temporary fix im getting 4 single tips. Until I can find a new exhaust system thats pretty cheap. Any ideas on a cheap exhaust system?

[Blackhawk]

Typical is a Flowmaster 80, you can get it welded on the stock piping.

[car audio dave]

Dave are those C5 tips?

they are off a stock C6 exhaust system.

[[ChaosweaveR]]

I like the squared off look of mine, they really go with the car's body lines:

Well now im looking for a good cheap exhaust system. Anyone got a hyperlink of where they got their's?

A cheap cat-back is the Pace Setter exhaust system

[MXculture]

do these cheap exhausts actually give you a better sound then stock? I think I might go pick up a cheap cat back muffler with split rear and get some nice tips.


A guy I used to work with baught some tips for his truck some cheap car place...and he couldnt get it on too far...we were using wood and a hammer so that it wouldnt damage the tip. His muffler comes out the side and not the rear...that thing was like a pedestrian killer....it stuck out like a foot for that day until he cut it to look good, cuz there was no way he was getting that thing off.

[Tommy00GT1]

I would have chosen those Hedman's too; or that style, anyways..... I like the dual tip, angled look.

But I'm an old man and behind the times, lol...:lol:
