How much to pay for GTR skyline tips

Hi Guys I got in my posession 4 GTR tips. I was unsure of how much to ask for each pair, searched the FS threads but no help there. Wanna hear your feedback. Also I will be intalling the GTR muffler to my car and show pics of before and after and videos with sound.

well now that you say it, I might sell both pairs but the muffler is going to be installed with the OEM tips. Now how much should I ask for the GTR tips?

sweet , yeah I am adding a resonator to my setup will take measurements of the inlet diameter and outlets of the GTR muffler.

So far my current exhaust setup goes like this : HR headers to stillen HFC's to custom y-pipe to OEM midpipe

Now I am gonna build a midpipe section so that it goes 3" after the y pipe collector and into the muffler

you just have the muffler? I think yours may sound a little different I think the GTR piping is titanium the exhaust in the vids is the GTR exhaust from the y-pipe back

Yeah I just have the muffler with the tips , they cutted it right before the piping divides at the muffler so I just need to build the 3" midpipe with resonator and remove the tips and install mine. I like how it sounds on the video but I believe I can remove some raspiness out of it by just adding a good straight thru resonator.

that's sounds pretty damn good. Depending on cost, couldn't you get any other aftermarket exhaust?

Well that's the thing I really like how the G sounds stock, I would really like to amplify the sound a little. To me and this is just personal opinion, aftermarket exhausts for the G/Z are either OVERPRICED or they add too much weight to the car and you obtain too little HP out of em. So I bought a GTR muffler built a custom y pipe and am in the process of adding it to my G. All will be done mandrel bent painted ceramic black to insure durability against rust and also its pretty much a straight thru system after the y pipe merge collector.
