I just found out that rock auto sells exhaust tips in the extras section... theres a ton of stainless steel options

No one makes these but it would look great if they did.

 

That's just about perfect in my eyes. Maybe not chrome or polished, but that's just me. :thumbsup:

LOL, those gigantic squares might cause a ricer-type resonating wave. look cool, since they actually fit the shape perfectly, but IDK.... tips can make or break an exhaust.

the bottom one would actually fit since it's the same contour as the stock tips now, but they're not as tall as the stock ones, and if i got the ones on the top i would have to change my mufflers since they're offset.

Keep shopping around. You can get 304SS tips like those two you posted for around $50-60/each without an issue. I can point you to a place that has the camaro style tips. On a quick search, I wasn't able to come up with the dual square outlet ones, it seems a few companies have dropped those from their lineups because they used to be very commonly available(a guy here with a TGP had some a few years back).

 

 

The camaro tips: http://vibrantperformance.com/catalog/index.php?cPath=1021_1034_1058&osCsid=43eb09a77bcc506ac5aabaacc7087b82 If you're interested in those, search the name and part # on ebay, you may find a deal on them.

 

EDIT: Here are some dual outlet square exhaust tips on ebay for $28 each w/ free shipping. The ends are slant cut instead of straight though.

That ebay seller I linked to apparently has straight cut square tips too, but the item pictured in the auction that says "straight" is the same slash cut square tip that I linked to above.

Ah, the great tip debate...I know how you feel, I'm in the same situation right now. I do like how those twin squares look on your car though.

I'm gonna go with the dual square tips, just not sure if it should be rolled or straight edge. I want rolled but the ones on ebay are slanted before they're rolled. Why do I have to be so picky lol.

The problem with tips too are keeping them clean. They heat up and cool down so much shit gets baked on and it's hard to clean off without messing up the finish, especially on cheap tips.

well i polish my rims every month as well as my tips right now so that isn't a problem.

Really? Those are stainless aren't they? I literally haven't touched my stainless tips in probably a year and they still look great(minus the 2 times I backed in and scraped them on the curb the slightest bit)

yeah i think some steel wool of some mag polish will clean them the outsides look great but the rolled edge is black
