Default Need new tips

Well i need new tips, went in and talked to a shop nearby.......he said that the tips would be slashed (45 degree angle). How big should they be?


Here are my current ones. they just seem too small and have some rust on it.

I have a philosophy about tips....3.5" for most cars looks "right", but 4" look bad *** if ya got big rear tires. I'm running 4" Magnaflow rolled tips myself. Just make sure you get stainless or they'll look like **** in a few months....

I think i lean more toward 3.5", but every once in a while I will see a set of 4" that look good. Def get stainless steel....you're waisting your money if you don't.

Since this thread is already open, what's it take to have something refinished and chromed.
