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,

 

You should go with 3A racing Tips. Perfect for our car with bodykit.



Tim has this on sale. Go here for more info and pricing.
3A Racing Exhaust Tips

 

that's a really nice lookin tip there. i aint into the huge-a$$ exhausts either and those look good. so u took off the stock one and those 3As fit perfectly right over it?

 

anyone from vancouver 604 have the same tips? if so, didya buy from somewhere here or just ordered them online? thanks.

 

You can order a set from Tim. He's selling it for 50 bucks.
ACP tips

Or you can pick one up from local Pepboys.

 

how does it look like if my car doesn't have the rear kit?

 

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.

has anyone seen these selling in a store in vancouver 604? just wondering if i can save some $ rather than ordering online paying US$ + shipping + duty.

 

I have the 3A tips, I purchased them from this site, as you can see they look sweet. I suggust you get the tips, if you don't like them, return them. I can't imagine you'll be disapointed.

Without the rear kit they look really awkward, but with it perfect.

 

So... Are these the 3A Exhaust Tips or Acp? Or are they the same? Just want to know which one to purchase.

Thanks

 

They're the same ones Jigga.

 

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 also have the 3A tips with OEM Bodykit. They definetely look better than the OEM tips when you have a body kit.

 

i jus ordered the tips from the site...but they're still on back order

 

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.

 

I have Pilot Motorsports 3½ tips on my car with factory bodykit and they look great! i like them a lot. but everybody here got the 3A.... i saw mine on the net at 25$ ea.

@cUr@-TL,

where di you get your tips... just wondering if its a chain store, it might be in Toronto.

 

hey hooked2TL didya pay duty for your tips when u picked them up from the post office or courier?

 

I purchased these tips about 3 weeks ago and they still haven't been delivered. Is anyone in the same boat I am. I can't friggen wait any longer for them to get here.

 

I have them and don't have a kit and I think they look great! If you don't have a body kit, you can easily see where the stock tips end. The 3A tips go all the way to the muffler, so you don't see the skinny tail pipe.

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

 

I don't agree.

 

Dee,

I had to pay customs, but not as much as you think. ;-) Give it a go, and send Tim here a note. Took about 5 days UPS to the house.

 

ok cool. what is Tim's username?

 

snook789

 

ok dun seem like i can send Tim a message cuz he's the moderator but yeah Tim if you're reading this i wanna know if the tips are still on backorder? if so, how long's the wait? if not, is 5 days all that will take to get it up here in Vancouver?? thanks.

 

i want to get a pair too...but need a gd price...

does the 2 1/4 inch of diameter tip fits???

what size is the AAA one?

 

are those the 2-3/4" Inlet, 3-1/2" Outlet, 8"L Overall Round Angle-cut Resonated Exhaust Tip on the JC Whitney site? got any pix? i'm deciding btwn that and the 3A tips but i wanna know how the 8" looks from the side...

 

Be careful with the ones from JC Whitney....I ordered a set from them a while back, and they need to be welded on...no bolts....they were returned the next day. Then I bought the Pilot ones locally, and they looked great....but they aren't stainless throughout, and after a winter in the northeast, they were all rusted on the inside, and they looked like crap....so now I have the 3A tips, and they are a bit longer than the Pilot, but they still look good, and they are stainless inside\out, so there should be no rusting. 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!!

 

very good money and headache saving tip, swhtech! their site is down now for maintenance but i thought i read that those pilots had bolts to attach to the tips and that the insides were galvanized. doesn't galvanized mean it'll protect it from the weather therefore rust???

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.

 

I talked to Tim recently about this and he said they're coming from japan on some boat, sometime. He didn't seem to be to sure when, but hopefully soon

 

JDub wrote in "Installed exhaust tips tonight" that those Pilots have 3 bolts, not welded...

 

are u sure? do u have any pix??

i want to order a pair too

 

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!!

 

yeah i'll guess i'll order the 3As then...but dayam who knows how long the backorder will be...i can't wait that long.

 

I'd call a few local auto parts stores....you may get lucky and they may have them in stock....I know I've seen 3A tips at the local AutoZone.....it's worth a shot.

 

Even some of Pepboys might have in stock.

 

does Tim have an email address??? cuz i'm interested in ordering the tips.

 

any1 in vancouver, canada know if they are available here? we got no pepboys up here.

 

I ordered my tips from here on May 7th and still have not gotten them. Maybe the boat got caught in "the perfect storm"..........
