Adding cosmetic tips to stock exhaust

Postby bradr » Sat Apr 21, 2012 9:25 pm

Being the cheapskate that I am (actually, it's more to do with satisfying Dr No but let's just say it's a finance thing, ok?) I was thinking about changing the tips on the existing exhausts of my 3.0R SpecB to give it a larger looking end. Not looking for a different sound or anything. Just a gruntier look.

I came across these which seem to fit the bill (small inlet, larger outlet) but wonder if I'm doing an overkill:

The vendor said he would do two for $140 with free postage but I'm wondering if I'm better off heading to the local motorshop and seeing what they have on offer there.

Cheers,

bj

In my opinion, replace the entire muffler. My old h6 sounded amazing with prodrive mufflers. Still quiet and stock sounding on idle and start up but a bit of a note on acceleration.
