My muffler guy said if you hear any backfiring or popping it could be a sign of a leak.... and tips can alter the tone of the exhaust. Tips that dump down offer a deeper bassier exhaust note.

Which is why I dont understand why they put those huge fart cans on Hondas and stuff. It adds absolutely no performance whatsoever. Just really really annoying.

Tips are for looks only, and quite frankly, I love the stock LT1 tips! I wouldn't have it any other way.

Nice choice, but a simple D chord is hard to beat.

Anyway great sound when you idle and get on it. no popping noises and really a great addition to the driving experience. HOPE ENJOY THEM AS MUCH AS I DO.
