jake91 Posted March 22, 2009 Report Posted March 22, 2009 thinking of doing this but i first have to figure out how here they are now Quote
Addicted To Boost Posted March 22, 2009 Report Posted March 22, 2009 That looks 100000000000000x better, please do it! Quote
jake91 Posted March 22, 2009 Author Report Posted March 22, 2009 how did you do it? due to the fake exhaust tip being there. how did you get center them? Quote
GOT2B GM Posted March 22, 2009 Report Posted March 22, 2009 Well I replaced the mufflers at the same time so it was easy. Not to mention my vert was a 3.1 vert so it didn't have the fake tip on the OEM mufflers anyways. But with the offset built into the GP tips if you sawsall off the fake tip, and clamp the GP tips to the real tip, it should center up pretty good. Quote
jake91 Posted March 22, 2009 Author Report Posted March 22, 2009 awesome thanks i guess i will be grabbing a set then hopefully i dont change my mind by next weekend lol Quote

GOT2B GM Posted March 22, 2009 Report Posted March 22, 2009 if you have enough room to get it in there. Quote
jake91 Posted March 22, 2009 Author Report Posted March 22, 2009 well i have a jigsaw with a hacksaw blade so i figured if a hacksaw could do it that could thanks Quote
RedGTP Posted March 22, 2009 Report Posted March 22, 2009 DO IT ! lol much better !! I have one set here if you want ! Quote
jake91 Posted March 22, 2009 Author Report Posted March 22, 2009 thanks but there is a set at the local yard i will get Quote
Scottster Posted March 22, 2009 Report Posted March 22, 2009 Those look way tougher. I would wipe out that dealer badging too, unless your uncle owns the dealership or something. Quote
jake91 Posted March 22, 2009 Author Report Posted March 22, 2009 already have. that is a old pic, i took it off about 20 minuits after i took it. because of w-body request here is the car now Quote
5speedz34 Posted March 22, 2009 Report Posted March 22, 2009 Have you considered last gen Bonneville tips? They are more oval. What about quad chrome tips from a STS or a 3rd gen GP? Quote
GP1138 Posted March 22, 2009 Report Posted March 22, 2009 I would love some of those tips. The dual fake tips look chintzy. Quote
jake91 Posted March 22, 2009 Author Report Posted March 22, 2009 Have you considered last gen Bonneville tips? They are more oval. What about quad chrome tips from a STS or a 3rd gen GP? thats why i chose these over others because i like the more squared look that these give but are still rounded Quote
tdvs Posted March 23, 2009 Report Posted March 23, 2009 Excellent idea. Another little mod to add to my list. After you do yours first of course. Don't want to steal you're thunder Tom Quote
jake91 Posted March 23, 2009 Author Report Posted March 23, 2009 going to go get the tips saturday i just hope they havent crushed the car yet lol Quote
jake91 Posted June 29, 2009 Author Report Posted June 29, 2009 well i finally got the tips. i became to lazy and never got the ones at the yard. but i got some from slick just had to pay shipping (freebies are good ) and i called midass and they said they would weld them on for around $20-$30 so once they get here i will probably have that done and will post pics Quote
Brian P Posted June 29, 2009 Report Posted June 29, 2009 how are they going to weld the aluminum tips to the steel muffler? Doesn't happen Quote
jake91 Posted June 29, 2009 Author Report Posted June 29, 2009 what? i thought that they were the same as what i had on there now, and they are welded on Quote
Brian P Posted June 29, 2009 Report Posted June 29, 2009 nope The GP tips are an aluminum pot-metal, your tips are steel. You actually may have to get your mufflers modified to accept the GP tips (diameter wise) but I'm not 100% on that. Quote
jake91 Posted June 29, 2009 Author Report Posted June 29, 2009 DAMN!! could i just cut the old tips back enough that i could just use an exhaust clamp. otherwise i may just have to wait a year untill i get new mufflers Quote
slick Posted June 30, 2009 Report Posted June 30, 2009 Have them grind the welds to remove the tips, then clamp on the new tips. Quote
