the right muffler tips for my new exhaust


Recommended Posts

Posted

so i started the first steps of getting my new exhaust done this summer. i talked to the guy and he's gonna figure out the cost of the mufflers and other materials. i talked to him about tips and he said that if i wanted them he could weld them on. the car will be painted white on the top and the lower half black. i want something big and impressive. i know i sound like an idiot but meh. these are some that i like:

with that last one i would just have him shorten the pipe a bit and then add the tip. any ones to recommend

 

and this one too...http://www.cardomain.com/item/BOR20154

None of those. Since you've got a Regal, I'm pretty sure you have no exhaust cutouts in the rear bumper so I would run some turn down style tips. They're inexpensive, look good, and give the car a clean look(those big tips would be gaudy on Regal in my opinion).

 

These are the type of tips I'm talking about.

When installed, you can only see a small portion of the tip..I'm sure you've seen cars with them before(namely late 80's/early 90's Mustang GT's since they used them).

 

EDIT: Or a thin/possibly rectangular style tip might look good since the Regals have a flat bumper.

i don't really like those.

 

i know they look rediculous on a regal, but i'm just having some fun. don't care if it looks stupid.

LoL, I was gonna say that, but didn't to be nice, I guess it's ok to express you opinions, eh?? All of those look too big, and too ricey for a Regal, or many other cars also. 4" is a little too big for my liking.

Sorta like the pissy ass CRXs around town with the huge exhaust top eh?

Unless you're doing some custom bending.... aren't you going to need to have some sort of custom built turn-down or at least 2 bends in the pipe if it's replacing stock dual exhaust? I know when I did the mufflers in my STE I cut the old stainless tips off as I would have to have custom tailpipes bent because of how high the exhaust outlet actually sits replacing factory to factory-equiv.

 

Something to think about...

The shop has a pipe bender. Although I haven't decided if I want to start with the new exhaust from the from of the car, or from the rear axle and back.

 

and I'm planning on using the 18" one and just having him make the pipe shorter in back most likely.

get the black ractive oval tips. im too lazy to look for them right now. ractive has an easy to find website.

i really don't care any of those tips.....they all look like they belong on imports

Posted

find some ones, that are square or rounded square shaped, the Regals ass end is square, so it would flow, but turn downs would be nice, i dont want somthing horribly sticking out from no where

I agree with these guys.. those tips are too big. For a Regal I'd try to hide the tip as much as possible, turndown style would look the best. If you wanna rice your car buy a Honda Civic.

i've thought it and i'm gonna go with a 3". not sure about the length yet but 4 is too big. and rice is good...with cheese

I have the magnaflow 24" x 3" roller lip tip on my monte and it looks badass!

^^^^^^^^^^^^ same exhasut tips I have on my turqiouse cutty--would post pics if I could ever figure out why my computer they are on won't connect to the internet

Posted

yes they look good...and they were a bit pricy also....they are hedman....

Posted

those tips really only look good if they have cutouts in the bumper

 

 

Go with something that is a little less noticeable, like a turndown style

 

Or something like mine, a dual outlet tip but it sits back under the bumper a little

 

Or go black/polished Camaro tips :twisted:
