Default Exhaust Tips????

I love the stock exhaust tips on our Mach's, but wish they were a little bigger to fill the bumper. I was thinking 3". What are some good tips?

I have 3.5 inch magnaflow tips. I think they look good. My friend has 3 inch tips on his gt (flowmaster tips). I think the 3.5 look better. 4 inch tips would be to much though. If your gunna go that big you might as well take a fart can off a civic and stick it on there.

Yea, I guess 3.5" might look better. Do you have any pics so I can get an idea of what it looks like?

No less than 3.5" tips.
I think 4" tips only look good on Cobras because of the rear fascia is all black so it looks nice and clean.

I believe the stock tips are chrome.
As long as you get the correct diameter for the inlet (2.25") and outlet (3.5"), also the length of the tip, you can pretty much go with any brand, such as SLP, Borla, Magnaflow, MRT, etc.

Since you like the look of the stock tips, I'm assuming you're looking for rounded (rolled) tips?

The longer you spend time on here, the more you'll figure out that I LOVE to help people spend they monay.

But I'll tell ya this: DON'T OVERSPEND on tips. It's just silly to pay top dollar for something like that.

You DO need the correct inlet diameter, but beyond that, I'd chase the cheap. Go down the Zone - they have tons. Wal-Mart even has bolt ons that would work great. Like Matt said, make sure you have the right inlet and length, and I think you'll be fine buying the cheapest cheapies at WM or AZ.

And I would buy 2.25" in and 4" out - the bigger the better back there I say! Looks mean

Ehhhh the tips from Autozone are ROFLZ-worthy. I got one for my girlfriend's Cobalt because she liked how the SS' have the chrome tips but the other models just have a non-polished pipe coming out. Well, that thing rusted out within a couple of months lol. Looks like it was pulled off the Titanic when I took it off her car hahaha.

I think the quality varies, for sure, but there are some quality offerings there. don't forget eBay, either. I bought some SS 3.5" rolled tips for my p/u for $40. Shipped..
