Exhaust Tips
This may be the wrong place to post, if so I apologize. I spoke with a local exhaust shop that specializes in custom work. He will install 40 series flowmasters for $180.00 + pipe work of $25.00. The tips (LT1 style) cost about $125.00 for the set. I think this is still a reasonable price however, here's my real question.
Does anyone with a C4 have pictures of exhaust tips on the car other than dual outlet or LT1 style tips. I would greatly appreciate anyone who can send me a picture.

Re: Exhaust Tips (85loub)
Tell me about the magnaflows.
The muffs on the car now are perfect. They are extremely :sleep: quite. Wanted performance boost and better sound.
Love to know more about the magnaflows and how they sound.

Put on new muffs because you want sound, not performance. If you want bang for your buck, get a test pipe instead. :yesnod:

Re: Exhaust Tips (85loub)
My two cents worth....
Flowmaster 40 series will make your ears bleed!!! Resonance is terrible IMO!
Two options: If you want a good cat back system and are price conscious, go with Flowmaster Force II cat back. Way different than the 40 series. Good sound.performance. You can buy at Summit for around $460.00 or so.
If you want to go with the tail end only ( muffs ) go with Magnaflo. Stainless steel and tips are very nice!!! $320.00 for both muffs through Performance Peddler. Mention the Forum for discount.
If I had to pick, I'd go with Magnaflo's. I have them and love em'!!!

Re: Exhaust Tips (85loub)
Dynomax Bullets with stainless tips welded on. That entire setup will cost you about $200. The Bullets are about $30 a piece. Then take your main cat, and a hammer or something, and whack everything out of the middle of it. That is what I did and it sounds VERY throaty and the resonation is not bad at all inside the car. I do not understand why people spend all this money on other systems when a poor kid like me finds a way to make it louder for minimal amounts of money :D Also, the Bullets are small, save you weight, and I did feel a slight performance gain.
People may not agree, IM me if you have questions. :cheers:

Re: Exhaust Tips (longhorn_C4)
Larry, that does look amazing!! One thing I like about these setups, when compared to some home made, or even old Flowmaster setups, is the tips don't stick out 6" from the back bumper.. that's horrible looking :yesnod:
These are great though!!!!! :cheers:

Re: Exhaust Tips (Jbaker)
That would be a good example - was that a Vette you owned before this one?? Either way, I love your Magnaflows , they have a :cool: look to them!!
I am sorry to the originator of this thread. I/we did not intend to hijack it. Forgive me please. If you are interested in the Magnaflows, please let me know here or email me at lbaird5@yahoo.com
