RE: Exhaust Tips
Hey guys,
Just wondering what type of exhaust tips would look good on my 1999 Acura TL 3.2. I have a Wings West body kit and I want some tips that will sort of classy and not ghetto. Just a little bigger than the original exhaust tip and also that it sticks out so that you can see it. The kit is completely hiding my exhaust and I want the tips to show. I did see some tips on the accessories page, but don't know about the size too much and also will it come out underneath the kit so that it can be seen? Please any info would be very helpful.
Thanks,

3A Tips in TO
samkws,
Since I might be getting the bodykit this week... I might consider these. (The mods never end
)
Any chance you've seen these in any auto-store in Toronto. I just want to take a look in person before I buy them. Also curious how much retailers sell it here.

I'm in 604. I have the 3A tips from this site and they're great. Send Tim a note that you're interested and he'll hook u up. You won't regret it. I've searched and found the quality and looks of these ones to be the best for my 2000.

I have these tips on my 99 SSM, w/o a body kit. And I love them. The stock ones are too small, and don't go all the way to the muffler. These are bigger, nut not ricey. IMO, they are definately worth the 50 bucks.

It's very subtle, but I think it finishes off the back nicely.

I don't have a kit.....I actually like the look of the pilots better, the 3A tips stick out maybe a 1/4" farther, but they still look way better than stock tips......good luck!!

if u look at EDub-TL's pix with the 3As on, they don't stick out a ridiculous amount. really nice look. looks like i'll be getting those for sure.

The Pilots do have bolts, just like the 3A, but I don't think they are made as well.....not stainless throughout.....I'm pretty sure the Pilots are available at a lot of local autoparts stores.....the 3A's may also be available locally. I know the ones I ordered from JCW were weld on only......enjoy whichever ones you end up getting.....they look so much better!!
