so here is the exhaust setup im going with. i ordered a summit racing single inlet dual outlet chambered muffler. and to oval tips. that are 3 inches x 4.5 inches littler bigger then i wanted but i can deal with it. but here is pic of what i wanna do. going to have it all welded up saturday

vipRL171 · 08-03-2013, 07:50 AM

so instead of doing the dual tip i went ahead and had dual exhaust welded up. i think it looks better lol. tips a little furter out then i wanted but are even with bumper it self and i think it looks good sounds amazing happy with results now time to slam this things and do some wheels. and im going to get some high temp engine paint to to paint the seen pipes so they do show as much lol

Team LR · 08-03-2013, 04:52 PM

Doesn't look bad but I'd cut the bumper out n have the tips sit a lil higher

vipRL171 · 08-03-2013, 05:42 PM

yea thats a good idea i may look into do that possibly. honest i dont really wanna cut into bumpers but may just depends lol cause i like how it sits lower but i do want it a little closer to bumper. im going to paint that visable pipe this weekend with high temp black paint just to get it so it doesnt show as much lol.
