Dual polished stainless frikkin'...

Post by Sirius »

…EXHAUST TIPS! :headbang: These cars should have come with shiny dual tips from the factory. I can’t begin to say how much better these look than the OEM tips…and I even kinda liked the OEM tips. Probably the best $100 I’ve spent in a while. Easily adds 25 virtual horsepower in addition to quantifiable bad-assness.

Doin' the happy dance... :banana:


Did I mention I got these for my wife for our anniversary? Uh huh, that's right. :coolmofo:

Silverline, Matt. The only complaint I have (and it's minor) is that they ink their logo on them. I buffed that off as best I could, but the logo is somewhat etched on. You have to look kinda hard to see it, but rolling down the road nobody ever will. :)

They were about $48 each, and there is a left and right side. Pictures don't do them justice.

I know, right? I kept looking at GXP's 'n stuff and thinkin' they just looked like they belong there. The ones I got are virtually identical to what you'll have on the new Edmobile. ;)

:evil: :roll: :lol: By "these" I mean like the one in the picture. :) If it has dual exhaust, it shoulda came with twin tips like this.

On a side note, there was a G8 GXP for sale locally recently. I wanted it bad but, because I'm paying for a wedding in a couple weeks, I bought these instead. Just like having a GXP though...

Yeah, I like those too. But the bumper cover cutouts for your exhaust are curved, whereas mine are more of a box...the dual tips fit in there nicely.

Y'know, if you got a couple coffee cans... :P

I think the SLE/SSEi trims would have looked much better with dual duals. The slot for them is practically made for it.
