    They did fill it in a bit more, but we put them up in the cutout, and I just didn't like them. I'm really happy with these. Just wanted to show them off. :up:

      Cute.

      I agree, 2.5" would have been better but damn if they aren't way better than DTM tips!

          I like the look, kinda does look stock but most other tips I have seen on e30s don't look good, these do.

          Josh, How do you like the sound of the magnaflow?

            I LOVE the sound of the Magnaflow. Deep and rumbly at idle, and it it gets this throaty roar when I really get on it, I love it. Sounds badass.

              I got an exhaust tip that would fill that area really well.....it matches my wheels. ;)


              I really like how your car is turning out. I think they look a bit small in the pics you took, but I think it will look better in person and at some different angles. Give us a full back end shot of your car and I think it would look really clean. Your bumper swap turned out awesome!

                    why was your muffler off the car? They would have looked good on a slight angle towards the driver side at least IMHO. I have no idea what your previous tips looked like but im sure this is an improvement.

                    Your car is super clean especially with the plastics. although it looked better with diving boards ;)

                      They do actually look really small in those pics, I don't know why, it may have been the light outside and/or the flash, but they don't look that small in person. They do look tiny in those pics, tho.

                      Here are some better ones in better light, I think they look way better in these pics, not as tiny.

                        Hahaha! we didn't mean to give you a size complex!


                        I think that dual 2.5"or 3" tips are too big looking also. Your tips are suffice :)

                          I love not being able to see my muffler hanging down from under the car anymore... :D

                          I had them mount the muffler a little bit farther back than it was before, so they could get the angle of it right, and so it wasn't as visible. You can't see it in the pics, but behind the chrome tips, they ran some very slight angled pipe back to the muffler to get the tips perfectly square in the opening. They did a great job.

                                They do look a bit small, but without seeing 2.5's, it's hard to say. Not to mention it's hard to judge just by the pictures.
