Does anyone know if the stainless steel exhaust tips that Tim sells are the same as originally come on the TL? Or are they larger or something?
Thanks

 

If you are talkin about these ones


The answer is no. These are made by 3A racing and are larger in diameter and longer than stocks. But IMO look a whole lot better than stock.

 

how do you get the tips on? any welding?

 

The stock one is held on by one 10mm bolt at the bottom.. but the 3A ones have 3 which you need to adjust so that the tip is centered with the pipe..

 

are the 3 screws ez to put on or is it a pain in da @ss?

 

It's very easy.. shouldn't take you more than 30 min to do..
The bolts simply clamp onto the pipe..

even my mom could do this mod..

 

How do you get new mufflers on? welding?

 

Certain brands such as Comptech are made for our cars. Just unscrew the stock mufflers and bolt on the new one. According to members here, it shouldn't take long

 

Will the Comptech's add any HP in comparison to the stock exhaust?

 

when people r outside the car can they really notice that its just tips or do poeple think its an exhaust?

well some people could spot tips from a mile away..... another thing is that when you have a bigger exhaust but don't make the sound that you should be making, people will know.... just save up some money and get the real stuff... there are exhausts out there that does not need any welding... just bolts on... very clean and convinient

 

when you buy an exhaust system off this site, does it come with 2 mufflers?

 

My car looks so clean in those pics... haha!! Anyway, when you purchase a exhaust from this site, you will get 2 mufflers.

 

I really need to get them since I put rear spoiler kit. Tips look so small.

 

Thanks for the info. Are those just tips in that picture or is that an entirely new exhaust system?

 

Just like Eric said, those are just bolted on tips.

 

i just got mine from Tim here, and I installed it in about 30 mins...u might have a pain in the ass taking off the stock ones..especially if the bolt is all rusted like mine was...

but otherwise, the ones from Tim are ez to install.....and they add a nice look to your TL....

 

I just got mine from TIM yesterday.

Took me 10 minutes.

 

 

how much HP do the tips add?? haha j/k

 

i knew that was coming!

 

how much do those tips cost? i might think about getting some.

 

I paid $49.77 plus $5 shipping from this website.

It's the stainless steel exhaust tips. I bought them because one of my OEM tips fell off, and I didn't think it was worth paying 50 bucks at the dealership for 1 tip, so I bought them here.

I wish I could order some new exhausts, but I don't have enough dinero, so I just got the tips for now. Tim sent them via UPS and I got them after 4 or 5 business days. You get a tracking number via email, so I knew when they would arrive.

 

i been wondering....i've seen the pictures of the exhaust systems and they only seem to be bulit for cars that have one muffler. Does it come in a Y pipe?

 

Has anyone had any problems with melting/ discoloration of body kit? I havent seen these in person, but I think they look nice, any hint of rice? I will order these soon!!

 

Switch out the bolts that come with the 3A tips. They come with really cheap soft bolts that strip easily. Go to your hardware store and pick up 6 stainless steel bolts.....they will tighten down much better without stripping.
