Default GT trumpets

Could anyone give me a lead on oversized trumpet tips for a '66 GT?
I think I saw them advertized somewhere, but I suppose it could have all been a dream. Or the alzheimers kicking in.
Thanks.

Are you talking about original tips?

They were the same design as original tips, but oversized to allow more exhaust to exit through the louvered ends.
I thought they might look kind of cool and be less restrictive.

Under Exhaust Tips Laurel Mountain has-
1965-66, GT, Hi Flow, 2-1/4" @ $99.95 pr.
When you click on the link a GT badge comes up.
I'll give them a call.
Thanks for the lead. I knew I wasn't dreaming. You guys are the best.

Unless you have an original factory GT convertible, I wouldn't bother with the trumpets. Just add some chrome to the end and let that jut through the valance a bit. Just my 02c

All indications are that it's a true GT fastback. I want to upgrade the exhaust and really like the sound of the trumpets, but I realize they must be pretty restrictive.
For now it's a moot point anyway, what with the "Minister of Finance" looking over my shoulder.
