Exhaust tips?

Are you planning on welding it or clamping it...because clamps are no good!!!!

$30-$60 sounds high. I don't know what they're going to do, but what I picture is about 1 minutes worth of work with a cutting wheel.

I would do it myself. Fit the new tips and clamp in place, then have them welded on by a shop.

Who's putting on the new tips? Do you have them already? I wouldn't cut anything off until you know what you're replacing them with.

I've really grown to dislike the stock tips. I know some of you guys will disagree, but I think turndowns would look great on the Riv, not sure though if they could be positioned properly to look right.

My thought about going to a muffler shop was they would use a torch and not a cutting wheel...thus saving more useable straight pipe.

They are clamp on that I would have welded later if I decided I liked the new look.

Found this to make the cut & it's a free service at AutoZone!!

Designed for on or off the car cutting of tailpipes and exhaust pipes with diameters of from 3/4" to 3-1/4".

OEM27045

I had the muffler shop cut mine off and weld the new ones on. I bought the tips there also. I don't remember what I paid though. Why go through all that trouble to cut them off, just let them do it.

That's the best view from the back that I have.

im not gonna lie turtle, im going to copycat your exhaust, but i took these pitures before i saw your exhaust.
Im still trying ro decide on placement, Im gonna order two more and use one as a resonator.

little late but...
they are welded on and the center pic of my sig shows another view

I'll post pics of mine when and if I ever get them on

I have tips like Matthew for my black '95 only in black chrome, I thought that would look better on a black Riv

Ya...the idea of black chrome with black is a very good choice!

Those would be a $350 ticket around here.

That's why I hooked 'em up to the brakes and not the running lights and only using red color. Don't think there is a problem with more brake lights.

So where should I get them from?

If you want to get them for less, eBay, eBay, eBay.

I've found some quite original items for our riv's on eBay.

License plate bolts and air valve caps and stems with the "R" symbol on them.

Crome tips, I got 3" dual round slanted and sloped to match the bumper for $100.00 for both sides.

I found some that I liked, for a decent price too. I'll post pics when they're on the car!

I like it, but you'll have to cut out part of the bumper too.

I've been mulling over this center exhaust idea myself, since it's more functional than what we've got. Venga22 actually made one, banging out the spare tire area to fit a muffler in there. He used a single tip like what Trademark has, which didn't fill out the area well enough.

I thought this tip looked good -



But I've got no idea what it is, or if it was a one-of-one custom tip for the A-Spec concept.

Here's where I'm at now -



It should fit without mangling the spare tire section. If you use a glasspack muffler and mount it forwards of the spare.

That's the way newer Vettes look: very fast, very mean. If you have 4 pipes, I hope your car can back up the look with performance. It does work better than most center arrangements I've seen, though.
