Has anyone changed exhaust tips?

[GalenaST]

They look fantastic! Would you mind posting part number? Thanks! Jim

Here ya go, install cost more than the parts lol. They need to do a bit of fabrication to get them on and spaced, I paid 200 for install.

Think you're confusing the two posts, mine are polished, someone else has a set of black ones they put on.

Thanks! I guess the pic looked black or more than likely my old eyes! They do look great! Jim

Check out corsa for some nice tips. They make 4 inch and even a 4.5 inch option.

Can you give me the details on these please? By far best look.

Whats the inlet size?

I'm looking at these as they're more like the authentic Akrapovic tips vs. the others that are a dead giveaway.

Can you confirm the 2.5" inlet? I've seen both 2 and 2.5 posted in multiple places of the WWW.

P.s. are you saying FR-Akrapovic tips look like they below on a Civic? lol

Oem is 2” and will fit a 3” OD tip. To run a 4” OD tip you need a 2.5” inlet so you can offset them enough to fit...obviously with some extra fab work.

 

[Dr.Duct_Mossburg]

What did you fab up? would think a 2" to 2"5 coupler would do if need be?

Measure the tip spacing and it will be self explanatory. Using the stock spacing the 4” tips would be occupying the same space.

How do you get the old tips off? I just took a look, and it doesn't look like there's a clamp, do you just pull them off?

Yikes... I don't think I'm ready for that... I'm too much of a wimp, and it's a lease.

Dimensions? Where did you purchase?

I’d like a set of carbon fiber or black chrome quads that are round and cut off straight; not angled. Maybe 3 1/2” or 4”. Akropovic’s are okay but they’re sleeved and I prefer simpler tips. I’m staying with the stock whisper quiet mufflers because IMO, V6’s cannot be helped as far as sound. I’m a V8 guy through and through and although this V6 is more powerful than most stock V8’s, still sounds ricer with custom mufflers.

Ricer ???

Not sure which STs you heard but i haven't heard any that sound "ricer" . I remember my old Integra with a Weapon R muffler and it doesn't sound anything like that . Yes , they are not a V8 and will never sound like one but i think "ricer" is not really the correct term . Why even swap out exhaust tips ? To me , swapping tips and not do anything else is like rebadging your C250 with AMG badges because you bought floor mats . Of course , it's your vehicle and you are more than welcome to do what you want
