Liking that look.

 

The new tips were installed today. Overall, I'm very pleased with the work and the look. The tips were bought from MagnaflowDepot.com for $52/pair shipped. And the cut/weld job cost another $100.

From any angle other than straight-on, they look gorgeous. When viewed straight-on, however, they pretty much disappear, because of the single-wall design and the 45* angle.

Someday there will be a decent cat-back on the car, and I'll address this all over again with something new. But for now, I'm liking the look better than the OEM clamp-ons.

Here's a before/after, and a few more pics.

 

Just for the heck of it since I didn't throw them out right away... here's of picture of the OEM tip. It's a double-wall design, where the inner wall is welded to the tailpipe, and the outer wall is clamped on. Really tight, too.

Ugly, cheap looking things, IMO.
