I dont know, I like the way pipes look coming out the back, but I'm wondering about doing the before the front tire thing....or the turndowns right out of the muffler.....

I have my Magnaflow tips sticking out, but by choice. They stick out 1.5"

I think the size of tips is what makes it look a little awkward.

I would go with black tips, as you know. I can't believe how rusted the old clip was how much of a PITA was to get off lol

that looks a heck of a lot longer than 1.5"....maybe it's the angle. I'm just saying mine looked like that too and it just looked awkward to me. I have the angle tips and had it cut down so the top of the tips are about even with the edge of the bumper. So they look "tucked" under the bumper, not sticking out like a couple of cannons..lol
