Topic: Tip opinion?

[BooomerX]

How would this tip look in the stock position behind right rear tire tucked up close to the body, flipped and following lower body line on a WBH?

I give it a  .

I've run a single 3" out the back, with the end cut off flush with the bottom of the cladding, so it's hidden.

I like it

Should look pretty good. I put dual 3" tips running out the passenger side on the wife's Av.

Wife got me the one from Jeg's for my birthday last month and I got it put on today.

Looks great man!

I like the way the look turned out. I am still running the stock pipe on it and the only thing it changed sound wise is when you get on it hard. It sounds like there's a turbocharger on it and your hitting the pop off valve or even a jet sound so I'm kind of on the fence on that one.

Looks cool..  Needs some flames coming out of it... I gotta hear it...

You decide you don't like it, let me know. Post a video clip of it so we can hear it.

Since I wont have my foot in it hard all the time I think it's a keeper.

Well after having this thing on for about a week I think I'm going to have to do something to it to help the sound. I had my son rev it to above 3000 rpm while I was back at the pipe and it's way worse on the outside than on the inside. Can you say "HOOVER"? At least that's  what it reminds me of outside. I think the pipe necks down too small from the 3" factory pipe to a 1.75" X 1" square tube running through the center of the tip with rerief holes opening to the two outer ports. I think I can open up a 1.75" oval hole on the bottom side of the pipe before it goes into the tip and relieve some of the pressure . If that don't work plan B make a new neck down with 3" ID pipe and open up the back of the tip more to accept a wider neck.

I added a relief hole to the bottom of the neck down pipe going into the tip and it helped to remove almost all the jet (HOOVER) sound until you are getting near the redline. Sound now is back to what it was under normal driving conditions.

Working 5:30 am to 5:30 pm next few days and will get pic when I can. It's dark when I leave and dark when I get home.

If anybody is thinking of using these tips I think they would work best sound wise if used in pairs where the tailpipe is the same size as the center exit tube on the tip. Example 3" muffler split to two 2.25" tail pipes to each side with these tips.

Used my phone so the quality may not be the best.

Tip surgery:

 One more shot of the surgery. You can't really see the hole unless you are below the tip. The sound is now within my liking but I kind of hated to have to butcher the tip. At least it's not noticeable and the tip still functions on cold mornings the exhaust vapor still looks like it's coming out of the tip. If this thing rusts off or gets knocked off I'll probably go to one of these 3" in and dual 3" out. I ran one of them on my Dakota along with a Hooker "Aerochamber" muffler and it sounded awesome.

Well I got tired of the whistling from this tip and gave it the heave ho with a saws-all. Found a new one at our new O'rileys Auto Parts for less than $40 bucks and its stainless.
