^ thats better for those members in snowy weather... but hey it is also fairly easy to pick up a bottle of black silicon hitemp coating course you sand it down a little before applying paint, and it'll look stealthy...
don't think everyone will be black happy simply because they may say it looks too stock
by the way ib18c's whip looks to be on 265's with 3 degrees of negative camber

Mike, the tips look great ... nice work.
Having the quads visible from inside the tip does look a little strange, but maybe, like you say, this goes away after they darken - or get blacked out. Can you black them out for the prototype and pics so we can see how visible the quads are through the tips? The first thing that came to mind when I saw the photos was, "why are those quad pipes being crammed into that awesome tip?". Maybe a single, larger, pipe from muffler to tip would be cleaner and more true to form. The quads do look pretty cool from underneath, but unless the blackout does a really good job, I'd vote for a single big pipe from muffler to tip.

Appreciate all the work you've put into making this happen.

Hey Mike, I think im convinced.. How do I go about putting down the deposit?
Now I need to hear this Gem.
Mike, need your help here. I read through this thread twice and I can't find anything on the dimensions of the tip.
I'm looking to see how much (if at all) of my RJ bumper I would have to cut to get this tip to fit.
While looking at the tip from the back, can you please measure top to bottom, and left to right from the widest point and let us know the dimensions?
Thanks ever so much!

Would be cool if a sleeper version was offered as an option:
- blackout inside of tips
- blackout mufflers
- add resonator
- blackout inside of tips
- blackout mufflers

Looking forward to hearing the sound clips. Mike, unless I'm mistaken, you said this was the same exhaust as the atlp quads just with different tips. That said, will the sound be any different? Will the tips have that much affect on the tone?
Oh, and what is your avatar supposed to be? I always end up staring at it for awhile trying to figure it out.

Avatar is just the Bape pattern. I like it because it's green. =)

We can do the resonator, as well as the black-out inside of the tips. We can also do the canister, but I don't trust it being shipped. Reason being, the paint on the canister, must be cured while the car is running. That's how they are "set". I'm worried that while it's being shipped, the canisters may move around and some paint may chip. It's extremely easy to paint the canisters when you have them off the car. I used VHT Hi-Temp Satin black, and it works wonders.

I believe Mike said the ATLP base exhaust uses the same piping/mufflers as the ATLP Quad. The only major difference are the tips of the exhaust. Doing a dyno would be a waste if that is the case.

but knowing azine... people would wanna see it.. thats why i said if people wanna pitch in for a dyno, they can cuz if they wanna see it, i don't think mike is gonna shell out his own money just for a dyno that brings the same gains as what he has done before... werd? haha..
