what are the various sizes for exhaust tips? (pics please)

correct me if i'm wrong, but the stock size is 3"(diameter of circle) right? there's a few exhaust tips for sale in the black market, but i want the size to be a little bigger... not stock size.. is 3.25" (again, diameter of the circle) a noticable upgrade from stock?

what other sizes are there? i'm looking at 3a tips, but other tips will do.. can you guys post pics of your tips?? yes, tips, not a whole exhaust thingy..

i'm asking b/c i'm getting a kit soon (do'nt know when, but soon) so the stock tips will need to be changed..

i'm looking for soemthing that will look just right, not too rice, but not as small as stock...

let's see what you guys got!

Actually I measured my stock tips at 2.5", and replaced them with 3" chrome tips. Now it doesn't look so weak from behind.

must have measured it incorrectly....


oh yeah comptech is a good size, but that's an exhaust, i'll just be buying tips..

what others are there? ***EL*MAFIOSO*** do you have pics of them?

does anybody have pics of an aftermarket tip compared side by side w/ the OEM?


i'm asking b/c i had a friend who had a nice set of tips - perfect size, big enough for class, but wasn't rice , i remember him saying 3a tips, but i forget the size. well, he happen to move away and i can't get in touch w/ him.
