Does the aluminum have stainless steel tips? Does anyone have any pics?

 

Yes it does. All versions of the exhaust have polished tips and mufflers.
I will send you a link to hopefully help with a few questions you might have:

aluminum is heavier than the ss

 

^^^^ cant be by much though

 

The aluminized version is about 7lbs, roughly, heavier. The stainles is about 5lbs. lighter than the stock system.

Is that the only drawback about getting aluminum?

 

Ya, pretty much. I think the stainless steel system might last longer but dont quote me on that. If I were you, do what I did and just go with the SS system. Its not much more expensive and it shaves a few pounds off the car. Thats always good. SS is the way to go

 

Hey Rick,

A bit off-topic but, does FI offer any additional tips for the Intimidator exhaust?

I honestly feel that thats the only missing ingredient to making a hands-down amazing setup; the quality, finish, sound, and looks [with the exception of the tips] of the Intimidator are excellent.

Maybe some tips similar to the HKS?

I guess I just described my perfect setup.

As you live is Chicago - I would definately reccomend the SS. It will better hold up to snow and salt from the road - hence more longevity.

The Stainless Steel system is 4 Lbs. lighter then stock and the Aluminized is 3 Lbs. heavier.

 

the tips are what held me back, too. i called tony and he said he can work something out but it would cost more.

 

^^^ and you would have to be local...

 

Are the FI tips larger or smaller than stock?

 

They are both the same size, 4" diameter

 

They are the same size, but because they are dual wall and rolled edge - they look bigger.
