well they came in the mail today and i installed them asap. only there not a small as i thought and they seem to stick out like the old ones, there pushed as far back as they can go. overall i like the rolled edge much better but not sure if its sticking hurts the look. they are 9" long, should i have looked for 8"?
what do you think, yay or nay?










and yes i know my car is dirty

I personally would have looked for 8 inch tips. They do stick out a bit, but its not horrible. Better than the last ones

i think ill have to play with them for a while to get the best fitment, i think the right one is a little crooked. i plan on someday getting a catback so these will hold me over

its a bit too long, but not terrible. can you return them?

They stick out to much IMO.

so now the question is, where can i find some 8" ones? autozone and places have different sizes but they are about 25 each. should i just save up for some axlebacks maybee, or not worry about it and work on the rest of the car for now lol

JMAL

dude just get the oem kit, it will fit perfect then. hhahah

It's not that bad. I know everyone is hounding you to get the kit, but your signature says you're going to lower the car first. Once you lower the car, it will make it look better too. I think just looks a little awkward and stands out cuz the car is on stock suspension with no kit.

They just do not look right without a rear lip. Without the lip they stick out way to much. I would run OEM tips without a lip and those tips once the lip is on.

I think they look pretty good...better than the stock ones...

The look 10x better than the last set. I agree with everyone else, once you get a rear lip it would look alot better. Start doing other mods, the tips are minor. Work on suspension and go from there.

thanks for the input guys. im workin on the drop right now seeing as its my top priority, i was able to push them back like a few mm more.i do like them much better than the old ones, you are right tho the rear lip would make them look much better. ill have to keep an eye out in the BM.

so if you have the oem kit, 9 inch kit wont stick out at all and will be flush? can anyone post pics like dreem1er

I have the same tips and mine stick out even though I have the OEM kit. I also found that if you paint from where the taper starts to where it meets the muffler, they look much better and are a lot more subtle. I'll try to take some pictures tomorrow to show you what I mean.

SLAKERZ

These are the same ones I have. They don't stick out past the outside edge of the OEM kit. Mine are a couple millimeters inside from being exactly flush with the kit.

Here are the pics...it's kind of hard to tell but one sticks out more than the other.

its looking nice but it will look nice if the car is lowered and if the kit was one it will be much nicer

What everyone else said....drop and get a kit and you will have a 99% better look.
