Default Thinking about changing my exhaust...

Im not possitive if Im going to or not but Im looking for a system that when looking from the side the muffler does not stick down to see it. Also, a nice quad tip that does not stick out far from the body. I see alot of exhausts stick out alittle to much for my taste.

Sound does not matter, just want to see some styles of round tips.

Can the exhaust systems that stick out to far, could they be adjusted?

Thank you!!!

I loved the Borlas I used to have. Big tips that looked great. You can see the mufflers though. I loved the look personally.


This angle makes the right side seem lower than it actually was.





Ewwww stock

You are really going to have to refine your parameters a bit more!! Most of the well known brands can fit the general items you have laid out!! Corsa,Borla, Magna Flow,BB,SLP and so on. This leaves the sound issue which can run from a nice sound when you get on it,while almost whisper quiet on the highway,,,,to every body in the neighborhood knows you've started up,,and drones to distraction on the road,,and they can hear you coming for 5 blocks before you get there!! Thus you can see why you need to be more specific other than looks. Most all look and fit good when you take the time to get it right when you install them!!

I just had a GHL Bullet catback exhaust installed on my '99 coupe. Has the four 4" tips. The whole setup is polished so what you do see, looks nice. Sorry, no pix. I replaced an old Borla Touring catback. The only thing I miss about the Borla was it had the quad 4.5" tips. Really liked the look of the bigger 4.5" tips.

If you don't care what it sounds like then just get some TI's and put them on. They're cheap and have nice round tips.
