Ghetto set-up!



Looks familiar! I don't think you can find a better looking quad tip for this car without moving up to the Type-S bumper.

You know, you are probably right, but I thought there was subtle difference in tone on mine. Maybe slightly deeper at idle, but that's about it.

Well, I'm not quite sure about a full res-delete if you don't want the rasp, but the stock exhaust definitely will benefit from having some alterations done to it. I prefer the Stage III exhaust option, which is the mid-muffler delete and the resonator swap with a Dynomax model. The tone fits the character of the car well, especially if one is sporting any kind of aero-kit to make it appear more aggressive than stock.

Looks great! Great alternative option if you don't want the full exhaust catback. How about sharing with others where you got these tips from?

For some reason, I'm having a hard time finding their e-Bay store. But here is a link to the company's website for the same product. Make note that when I purchased these late last year, they were $20 less at the e-Bay store. Good luck!

Looks great!

Anyone have any idea if these tips could fit on the base XLR8 set-up? Or any of the aftermarket catbacks for that matter?

Are these them? How much did you pay for a shop to do the cutting/welding? Thanks!

you can still get performance from the tips but you just gotta do a custom setup from the catback. I did that and noticed that in the higher rpm range
the car is just fun to drive but at 2k - 2.5k the drone is just ridiculous

Has anyone put these on without the A-Spec bumper? I'm wondering if they would stick out too much on a regular bumper on an '04-'06.
