Aftermarket twin tips on mufflers

Has anybody had any experience or success in getting an exhaust shop to fit quad tips onto existing mufflers before?

Im considering fitting quad tips to an already fitted Ultrex s/s mufflers. Currently I have the big ass 4" single tips, but would like to fit maybe twin 2.25" or 2.5" tips on each side instead of buying brand new mufflers.

Would it look gay if I did this? or would I be better off buying say 'tbears' quads and trying to sell off my current mufflers cheap to someone else?

It can be done for sure and there are Y pipe tips to make it easier.
Bear in mind the sedan looks better with staggered tips.

It would mostly depend on finding the right tips and then getting the right quote, price vs quality.
Then consider that vs your timeframe and availability of aftermarket offerings eg tcp :)

Thanks Ben. That's what I was thinking. I wouldnt want some cheap ass naff looking tips either. Definitely the staggered versions. But it would be hard to pick the correct lengths etc.

Would I be better off measuring what length is required or will an exhaust shop be cluey enough to modify the tips to suit?

I've been through this before - The exhaust shop will have a range of aftermarket tips, and you can select the style, size, and design that you like so that it sits right.

I know you're based in Adelaide, but most decent exhaust shops stock the same brands

This shop is based in Sydney, but you can get an idea of whats out there - https://www.bestmufflers.com/bshop/inde ... 01bd7427c8

Thanks mate, Ive had a good look at their stock.

Im liking the look of these. Its not a cheap exercise to go this way, but it's got to be cheaper than going new mufflers and then finding a buyer for the old ones.

Aftermarket/custom 3" twin tips on Xforce mufflers which used to have the single 4" tips.

Very tight squeeze!

Thats what I was afraid of Nathan. But it does fit by the looks of it.
