RE: getting rid of dumps for tailpipes...
yea i'm getting tail pipes put on when i get my tax return back, i had to cut my stock ones off because the x pipe i got was 2 inches shorter than the h pipe so my tails went under the bumper so i cut em off. LX's have to have tails Gt's look fine without em cause of the ground effects. i agree too i hate having to smell the fumes all the time, hard to make my car smell good....well exhaust does smell good but not for the ladies

RE: getting rid of dumps for tailpipes...
I know what you mean the lx's look alot betterwith tailpipes on them gt's are ok without and look better when you cant see the tailpipes thats the reason I got the gt kit so the tailpipes are still hidden but sound alot better...
i am wanting to go to a cobra bumper also .. ..I got the gt kit so if i go to a cobra bumper in the future the 2.5" lx tails with chrome tips are like 135 so ill take the gt tailpipes off and put the lx ones on... but i dont know for sure if im going to get the cobra bumper or not.

I cant wait to run my tailpipes that came w/ my SLP kit. Problem is, I have a GT and I got the kit for an LX so I can run it when I get a Cobra bumper, but thats a long time from now so looks like Im going to be dumping for a some time lol

the flowmaster catback setup for the gt fit under my bumper just fine... the bottom of the pipe that turns down a litte at the bumper is dead flush with the back bumper you dont know there there unless you get down and look under the bumper... I had to get the right rubber hanger to make the sit just right.. looks just like it did when i had dumps just sounds alot better...
I know this thread needs a sound clip but dont have digital video camera and dont have a video converter for analog video camera. and the regular digital cameras dont really have good sound quality..
the whole exhaust consist of 306 ci: bbk shorty headers,2.5"o/r hpipe,2.5" flowmaster(40series delta flow) catback exhaust.... as soon as i get some video i ll post in the video section...

I have tails and I still get that smell, but when it is cold out and your carb hasn't been adjusted yet that can happen. I am running fairly rich right now. Tails sound much better in my opinion, I have chrome tips on my gt but they fn drag on everything. I am going with the tails you guys mentioned also.

I am ditching the dumps on monday, I have the cobra bumper on my Gt, I am going with 3 inch stainless tips myself, do the 40 series flows drone alot on the highway and how do they sound compared to the magnaflow 40 series?
