Exhaust tips
Im looking to get a pair of exhaust tips this weekend.. Just wondering is there any cutting involved? Not familiar with this process, also is there anything i should look out for when buying?

Most here use the 3A tips found at Pepboys. I don't have a pepboys by me, so I'm still looking. No cutting from what I gather. Just unbolt the stocks and switch 'em.

got them at brandsmart for 23$ each, got them installed for 30$ @ my local muffler shop, but i LOVE how they came out... gives it the AMG look plus it matches with the bumper groove as if it was ment there.

Second pic with the kit has the DEPO aftermarket rear light they are both sold by Matrixracing and procarparts on ebay for 125 dollars cheaper then the OEM ones.
Both tails are great quality and I recommend either.

Hzm82, do the 3A exhaust tips' mounting bolts stick out really bad ? Do you have a close-up pic of the mounting end of the tips ?
