Hi,
Does anyone know where you can get good quality exhaust tips.
Most I've seen in motor factors are just cheap shit that starts to rust as soon as winter sets in with the salt off the roads.

I'm looking for something that looks like the standard oval the original exhaust came came with. All the ones on Ebay seem to be too big or have a slope on the end.

Ive heard that size matters so get the biggest you possibly can, like 10" or something that would be bossing, or just try ebay for a stainless one so it doesnt rust and just use a rough size eg. Stainless exhaust tip 2.5" oval, see if that give you what you want.

If you go to somewhere like a Powerflow dealer they should be able to weld on a new stainless tailpipe for you. If you have the standard box in the centre of your exhaust you could get them to completely remove the backbox and just straight pipe it. It will sound much better but wont be too noisy on motorway runs. (removing the backbox is only a good idea on turbo diesel cars)
