Hello all,

Our 2010 v8 Mustang exhaust is still in development & we'd like to hear which exhaust tip the Mustang community prefers: 4" or 5"? We look forward to your feedback!

I'd say 4". anything larger than that and you start looking like a rice mobile with coffee cans out the back. 5" just doesn't look proportionate. Not to mention at 5" I would imagine you get a trumpeting effect which just adds to that coffee can stigma.

Yeah 5" looks like crap to me but you know people would still put them on. I think the 4" looks perfect

4" is as big as a REAL mustang driver would have on their mustang. anything bigger looks ridiculous.

not only would the larger tip not look right, but it also leaves less area around the bumper and if that tip touches our bumpers after it's gotten up to operating temperature, it'll melt the area...
