Did you guys chop the existing pipe down at all, or leave it full length? Could I do that? Does your tip grip the pipe well enough to cut it down or not? Am I making sense?

Something is missing...my
Alrighty then. Just wanted to be sure that it grips on tight enough. Doing it tonight. Wife will freak! Thanks guys.
When will that be?

I plan on doing it..... once my car is fixed

if ur in the u.s. any auto parts store should have em and there pretty much universal, tell the cashier u want to check if it'll fit on ur car and leave ur license with him thats what i did, take the 3.75 and four inch to figure out which one u want, canadians have a harder time finding them i think

Nope, there is no sound difference. Just much better looks.

I just ran out and took a quick picture. The calipers are kind of dirty, after a wash I'll take daytime pics. It looks so much better than the rusty, boring color of regular calipers.
Black FTW
