I HATE THIS FORUM!!!!!

This site is costing me soooo much money because I am weak and cannot say, "NO! I have spent enough on this car."

Thank you SS Forum, I just ordered mine.

Whatever you do, don't look at any of Crazy Paul's threads!!!:dizzy:

I got some different tips. We did have to make a custom gooseneck to raise them, when installed based off of the old tip, they sat way too low.
I'm curious as to how many people are using a custom "goose neck" fitting like Charles mentioned in the 1st page. Also it seems like others are cutting them exactly at the factory weld and just installing them from there? Just trying to understand since I will be doing this soon.:biggrin:
Charles was using different tips than Russ (sorry for the dupe, just learned how to do multi-quote :))
 
DavidCroft is buying the polished. I'm putting the black ones on.

Waiting on schedule and pricing from 510 Home Page

The Red Tail tips I purchased are same length as the OE single tip, therefore when cut at the weld and the new tips installed the exit distance at the rear bumper/diffuser is the same as OE. Only difference is 2 tips at 3" per side vs. 1 at 3.5".

Hope this helps as it really shouldn't be this difficult

Not taking them to 510. They want $100. They told me to find a muffler shop that would be better pricing.
 
So I can do these with cutouts and have good looks, plenty of sound and flow when wanted with no drone when I don't, and save money vs a catback? Hmmm...
You sir are a genius! I think this route would be perfect for me as well. :eek:k:

Have you ever experienced unbelievable joy and terror at the same time?
Wife just called and said FEDEX just delivered a package! Wanted to know what I bought now!! On one hand I can't wait to go home on the other I am trying to figure out how to explain the tips that just arrived. I have 6 hours to think of some good reason why we needed them. Any help from by SS brother's and sisters would greatly be appreciated.:panic::yahoo:

Fuel saving/better gas mileage. Pay off is 10 years....
 
Better for the environment. The new tips diffuse the exhaust better. :wink:

I used that one for the CAI

I'll try this one unless I get a better one.

The problem is she is not a typical dumb blonde (3.98 grade point average from college) Sumo Wrestler Coming Loudly or something It's Latin I think.
 
I had told/asked my wife about putting the SW catback system on the car, for $1300, and that did NOT go over well. So far, she hasn't peeked into the box that arrived a couple of days ago, but when it finally comes out that I bought these for the SS, I'm planning on laying on her the "$120 solution" vs. the $1300 choice, and that ought to smooth things over a bit.... Theoretically.

get rid of the wife.
spend money on mods instead of pms medications.
 
She gets shoes, you get tips. Nuff said.

The black ones just arrived! But there is a problem...

Anyone see it??
 

Attachments

One on right is straight cut, one on left is angle cut (as requested)?
 
If they are cut top to bottom at an angle, then they are both for the same side. If the tips are straight cuts, then you would just be flipping it....but it looks like they are cut at an angle top to bottom so flipping wouldnt work

Idk if that makes sense what im saying haha
