I'm not crazy about the factory exhaust tip, don't really like the rolled end pencil tip look. I decided to get a 3.5" double walled angle cut stainless tip and have it installed.

Looks nice. Planning on clamping or welding on? stock exhaust isn't stainless.

Thanks guys!
It's a weld on, I'll have the shop I use stick it on. I've become pretty good friends with Darrel and Mike, they do all my exhaust and brake work now.
Stock exhaust isn't stainless? I thought pretty much all stock exhaust systems were stainless now because the water in the exhaust system that drips out the tailpipe is acidic and eats the metal. Interesting!

Hi Jim.
I assume you got the tip off eBay.
Do you have the details of the seller?

Yes, it was an Ebay deal, here's the link http://cgi.ebay.com/STAINLESS-STEELT304-DOUBLE-WALL-EXHAUST-TIP-2-25-ID_W0QQitemZ280119493387QQihZ018QQcategoryZ33633QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
The seller was very promt with the shipping and communicated very well. It was a very smooth auction. I've since had the tip installed which I posted in another thread.
Jim
