When I bought the car the guy had welded on chrome tips that looked awful which I'm sure some of you have seen in pics, I want to get some muffler back tips, doesnt need to be catback or anything perfect just some tips coming out the back, thanks for any help.

And I would just get some LX tail pipes but I've heard the fit can be a little sketchy.

Here is what I did, I bought a set of the LMR stainless steel tips, cut the hagers off, then cut the hangers off the original tail pipe and welded them on the new tail pipes. It is a little work required, but works out perfect.

Or if you can find a set of Longer rubber hangers you can just do that. But they are hard to find. The LMR tailpipes it great, just the hangers they weld on them are to short.

Just buy a pair of these and find some longer rubber hangers where they atach above the rear cover.

I reccommend cutting the front hangers off the new tail pipes though. I used a small die grinder on the welds then dressed them up, you couldn't enven tell they where on there.

Cool thanks for the help, and jstanley no rush just let me know, and that would be easier it would give us an excuse to meet up.
