Default Exhaust tips-How big is too big??

I was thinking about getting 4 inch tips coming out the back of my 92 gt. I think that might be a lil big though. What do you all think? Its either gonna be 3 or 4 inch coming out the back. Does anyone have any pics of their tips, 3 or 4 inch??

what model do you have? gt or lx? if you have the lx, just get 2 1/2 tails. they look bad ***! the ones that angle up with the bumper. i have a gt and have 3 inch tips.. but i want to put turn downs like the factory tips.

Its a gt, but i HATE the turndowns. I want to see em. 2 1/2 is too little. I never thought about 3 1/2 though. That might be ok. Anyone else?

Idk, i never liked the GT's with the cutout bumpers and the pipes showing. I like the turndowns, Although the LX's look good with 3 inch tips or 2 and a half inch tips. Just go chrome, dont get anything else. BUT, i'm totally in love with the Cobra rear bumper and the 3 inch tips. Oh man, I love that ****

i dont know whos car this is , but this is what im thinking. I love the way this looks and he said they are 4 inch. Just dont know cause i cant see it in person. Might be too big. My car is white too, so it would look similar to that. Hope whoevers car this is doesnt care.
