has anyone know the size of the inlet /exit of the exhaust tips of the oem exhaust? has anyone changed them before?

as I posted in a different thread, i dont want to change the oem exhaust tone, but want it to look different. Esp. with the years, the tips look beat up.



I like the slight burnt look.

+1. my tips are starting to get dirty and lose their "shine" if you will. id like to know how to make it look like that as well.

Definitely in for results. Would love so burnt tips on my oem exahust!

take them off, or hand polish it. There are ways to get metal looking back to what it used to.

Just gotta wet sand and do some other things I dont feel like getting into more detail about.

Check out this thread, people polish crappy old Honda Mufflers and make them look AMAZING.

Doing just the tip would be a TON easier too.

Edit: This poster from there basically says what you have to do to get it shiney again. Sand with Sand Paper WET. Like wet sanding it, and then once you go through all the grits listed, you find a good polish. I know mothers may make one of the best out.

Yeah, this is a great way of restoring your stock back. But I'm just bored of it that dull look of our exhaust when it sounds so sweeet.

I found the ones I have posted in the thread. Just not sure if it'll fit. Would be sweet if theres a slip cover over the oem tips.

^^ Those look like they MIGHT last 4 months...

MD rolled Ti tips. Not cheap though.

perfect! will these fit the inlet of the muffler?

those look sweet

i believe the only way to do this is by cutting and welding im dying to do this as well

^^^yes that is true cutting and welding is the only way.

find a good welder and it will be no problem...

I doubt it, MD tips have 2.5 and 3" inlets.

Cutting, yes, but you don't necessarily have to weld anything. A while back, Tony from MD fabricated some tip extensions for me since they looked sunken in with my CS rear. Its kinda hard to explain, but they look roughly like this:


Just a some quick modeling in solidworks while im bored at work

Obviously the stock pipe would go into the smaller diameter hole, and then the aftermarket tips would slide onto the larger hole, both sides being tightened by clamps. No damage to the tips so you can sell them later, and they'd still be adjustable.

I could have sworn the inlet pipe is where exhaust enters the muffler and the outlet is where the tips attach and the exhaust exits! MotorDyne tips are the best, I may need to get those!

Didnt want to make a new thread so is there a possible write up on how to get these on with the stock OEM system? My brother has the tools to get cutting and welding done but would like to get a guide to make sure we do not mess anything up.

sweet! I'm looking at this MD tips as well. Also want to know how can I make them fit my G.
