Exhaust tips?

Thanks, Ben, for explaining about the sound - you are right I missed your comment.

I like the way the stock exhaust burbles at idle and is quiet at cruise. I was thninking that an exhaust that roars on hard acceleration but is quiet otherwise would be fun - but it also is definitely not a priority. Something like a s/s cherrybomb style resonator and a pair of rear mufflers that use baffles rather than fiberglas to cancel out sounds - if done right there's no restriction problem but...

How much does it cost to get those professionally installed?

I don't know... it was probably $100 or something. They had to cut off the old tips and weld the new ones on, plus straighten my pipe.

So I'm not sure.

I've had these tips for almost a year just sitting around in the garage, until one day I started to clean out some things and came across them again.
Well here they are finally installed, and not to my surprise, they look as good as I thought they would when I first saw them online.

I was really split between the round and the square, but because the Riv is so "rounded" I decided to go with the double round.
Whatever the shape, it will always look better with the double tip on either side.

I'll shut-up now and start the sharing,

Grooovy!

I like the tips... Very nice!

there bad ass, they look just like corsa tips

Really nice

Verry snazzy

You got my vote!

More interesting, however, is that your Riv. has a landau top! Haven't seen one of those... neat!

I keep getting asked if it's a convertible?

I wish, Maybe one day I'll take a chainsaw to it!!!

Thanks man

I got these off Ebay too for something around $100. Which I think is worth it considering the condition of the OEM that were on there.

I'm thinking about changing out my yucky, black tips for something a little shinier. I was wondering, can the stock ones be removed easily, what diameter am I looking for, and can a replacement simply bolted- or clamped-on?


I'm liking these magnaflow tips, they're cut at a 45* angle, with a 2.5" inlet and 3.0" outlet. Click the picture for the amazon.com page.



They're also available with a 2.25" inlet and 3.5" outlet here:

And 2.25" inlet with 3.0" outlet here:




They're all 18 inches long, by the way.

Anyone? Does anyone know the diameter of the inlet for the tips?

1 3/4 inch i believe. the 18" tips will stick out really far unless you have the mufflers moved back or you get new ones. if you look at the stock tail pipes, they are kind of S shaped in order to make the tips stick out straight. there isnt much straight pipe directly behind the stock tips to bolt up an 18" tip to w/out it sticking out from the bumper 12"+.
you may be able to make the 2.25" bolt up to the stock pipes. depends on how the clamp is. if they are the weld on kind, you may need to have the exhaust shop bend up some new tail pipes to weld them to.

Okay, so those are out of the question. Would 2.25" inlet tips work, like these? How about a 2.25" clamp, would that be too wide to fit properly? Says some of them have to be welded on, any idea what that would cost? Also, how would I get the original tips off, should I let the shop that's gonna weld the new ones on take care of that?

Those are still a little more than 7" long. I also found these which are only 4.5" long.

the shop will take the old ones off. i dont know how much it would cost, but if the 2.25 fits over the stock pipes and the guy is able to get a weld on the 2 to hold, then it shouldn't cost much at all. when i had mine done, i had 3 tips and i gave the shop one of the tips in exchange for welding the new ones on. i told them it was worht ~$50. i also had new pipes made up to go from the mufflers to the tips. i think i used 2" pipe. and i had them mandrel bent for a case of beer

Okay, thanks! I'll call around with the local shops for pricing, although I can't think of anywhere like that around here.

Could someone move the exhaust tips to the center of the bumper and move them up a litte into the Gray area of the bumper.



I am trying to plan a center exhaust for my car with my current tips.


thanks in advance

I can help you out tommorrow....no photoshop at home.

Thanks Chicken!

you want the two together centered under the license plate, but molded into the rear bumper, right?

Yep!

here ya go...
