Dual o quad exhaust

Right now on the RPE, it has those two big ass rusted rectangular exhaust tips on it... which are kinda ugly. I have some old turbo grand prix magazine thingy from 88 and it shows it with 4 chrome round tips, two in each opening. I would like to replicate this look. Whats the best way to do it? I just want to replace the tips... and where can i buy them? does a place like midas have to install them or is it a DIY project?

Based on the stock tips curvature, you'd need to get ones custom made, that is if you keep the stock mufflers.

 

And for the record I highly doubt your stock tips are RUSTED, seeing as they're cast aluminum :roll: just clean them up.

can i change the mufflers? All I want are 4 nice round chrome tips...

get a SOS pad or a brillo pad and go at them, works wonders on mine, then again mine are steel.

 

but i know what your talking about, i remember seeing those in my one pontiac brochoure i got. if i had a prix or whatnow i'd try and find a set of them, but your best bet is probably a custom exhaust shop.

yeah you can change the mufflers but when a shop installs them they have to angle them downward a bit. The pipes are "higher" than the bumper cutouts on your car.

What about dual tips from 04+ GP? I don't really like them, though..

To replicate the look of that TGP in the magazine, just buy any "dual dual" outlet round/rolled edge tips. The ones on the TGP you mentioned looked to be around 3'' outlet diameter. 3.5'' outlet diameter fills in the B4U cutouts nicely(I think I have 3.5'' outlet tips on my SE, I thought I was ordering smaller tips..but they didn't turn out that bad looking anyways)

 

Like these basically.....$39/each from JcWhitney.

YUK! Those look disgusting.

 

Those 3" ones, are they a single exhaust in each opening or two in each?

Here is what I am using for my Dual setup:

They are from a Cadillac Seville.. They look sharp.. And, I used Meguiar's Mirror Glaze proefessional 28 All Metal Polish.. And a brillo pad.. Shined up real nice (Although took some effort..)

 

EDIT: Otherwise, THESE are an option:

Get those. Or Vette tips. This kid at school has an 03 GTP with Vette tips.

I like tips like that, except for the rolled-in tip.

They are 1 inlet/two outlet tips(so two 3.5'' outlets on each side of the car) if you were asking me Ross.

 

Here's the link to them on JcWhitney's website.

I plan to get the stainless dual outlet/rolled edge tips there for my GTP(getting the "slash cut" ones since I already have straight-cut tips on the SE).

I had them installed by a friend at a local exhaust shop, they're welded on.
