Default tiger shark questions

what vendors sell the tiger shark rear fascia? and from past experience through other cars including friends vehicles...usually after-market pieces are not prepped very well especially if they are fiber glass...they have waves and what not....so i guess that would lead to asking who makes good rear fascias. as far as buy it sand-prime-paint. without defects and multiple fitment issues.

also....what catback systems will work with the tiger shark rear?

No they dont.

The Corsa with Tigershark tips will work with it, I believe there is a Borla and maybe a GHL, or a BB that will work with it also. Im sure the memebers on here that have the Tigershark rear fascia will chime in a tell you what other exhausts work with it. As far as vendors that sell the Tigershark kit, there are a few on here.

You need and exhaust that will work with it.

I can get you the rear and a GHL 2 Tip for the TS rear...

Peace

My kit fit great no issues. I have the Corsa pace car tigershark exhaust sounds good You can not use a normal exhaust the rear opening is much more narrow then stock. I have heard of people cutting and rewelding their exhaust to fit.

Did you see the one in the for sale section?

Also you could go to a muffler shop and have them relocate your tips if you want. It would be cheaper then buying new at this time.

You can make the exhaust work with little TLC from a good muffler shop. Here is a link to the rear. We have these in stock right now...

Cost me about $45 to get my bullets modded to fit.

My TS nose fits better than the stocker. My oem bumper didn't line up to the fender in the wheelwell, the TS nose is perfect.

As for the rear you can mod any exhaust to fit. My buddy Mike (illmac77) moved his stingers in quite easily. He just drilled new mount holes in the rear crash bar and cut about 1" off of the over axle pipe where it bends outward. Then he put it all back together and had Stingers with narrower tips. For the record he does have the 2-tip version, not 4.
