The tips have nothing to do with the sound comming out of the pipes... it's the muffler size, shape, material and pipe lengths. If you look at a Borla Stinger single tip you'd see that it's a twin walled tip. The inside is the standard diameter metal pipe and the larger tip w/ the rolled edge is round it.
My hood is painted... it's painted black. I chose to not waste money on painting the hood yellow as millenium yellow is a 3-stage color that is near impossible to perfectly match. To do it I would have had to blend the fenders and the tigershark facia. I am painting my entire car starting this Friday and I knew I would be doing so when I purchased the hood.
Enough about me.... back to your poor choice in exhaust

Now now Brian. I think it is a bit rude to criticize someone because they might value the mighty dollar in another way than you do. For $30 how can you beat the set up?
The vette tax in my opinion is ridiculous. If you really think you're getting some diamond encrusted gem of an exhaust piece I suggest you lay off of the crack pipe a bit.
What you also don't understand is that this gentleman's father has raised him to believe that trumpeted style tips are only for queers as he used to beat on them in the 60's if he found someone cruising with them.
The problem with most of the so called "vette" guys on here is that they aren't true car guys. If he decides to go with another system down the road at least he can say he built something with his own hands for $30 bucks, which is what wrenching and fabbing up parts is all about.
I can't see a difference between a cat back system made out of stainless by one self or one you spend $600> for. Now headers are a different story. (BTW, would you call a custom bent up exhaust for a '67 vert frame off resto a disgrace? If so, I guess someone with such skill to build such a car isn't as smart as you to go spend idiotic money on something as irrelevant as a cat back.) Enjoy your vette tax.

Once again........it should begin with "In my opinion......". NEGATIVE 20 now kiddo!!!!!
I personally like the bum bum. Small round tight bum bums usually aren't accompanied with big D's. Typically those girls will be very fat and I can only think of hanging cow utters when I see such specimens. So once again.....in your opinion.
Some people just don't learn from their mistakes!
Perhaps I am cheap. But all my toys are top quality (such as the vette) and paid for. Mind you I'm 23, so yeah I'm cheap. THANKS!!!

Wow!!!!! Is that blonde your g/f? Did she dress up as a nurse trying to be the next michelin baby? Tell her to step out of the tire, it doesn't do her figure justice!!!!! I also can see her roots. She might want to get those fixed.
I'm looking to build a super human and big breasted and fat doesn't bode well for athletics.

As this thread has illustrated...........isn't it all relative to ones own personal experiences as to the manner and extent of psycho and taste.
Such as with the tips as it has been agreed the current ones are **** poor. BUT, alteration shall be made.
