they won't be installed until spring..but..I managed to take a few pictures...help up with a cardboard box..comparing the 2. Keep in mind that the tips will be much more centered...

I really think that the 4th gen tips look way better too. I mean..the quad tips are cool...but I think they are a little to much.

I gotta say, I like them both equally. Then again, I'm a bit partial....especially due to the fact that if I ever saw your car in person I'd probably immediately do something like this: :hail:

i think its better looking then kandieds as well...if i had to pick to 3rd gens (outa the ones i'v seen) to go head 2 head for the title of best third gen...it would prolly be those two.

thanks for the kind words guys...but..let's not get this off topic...I'm not here to make enemies or anything
Top 10 reason's why I'm changing the tips:
1. Just not on TGO, but all together, the round, long tips are just way over done..and I see them way to often.
2. I'm going for a more updated, sleeker style
3. The quad tips are a little crooked...and almost impossible to get them dead straight
4. In most cases, different=good if it's done tastefully and not over done
5. I think the 4th gen style fit the contour of the 3rd gen body a bit better and flow with the lines of the car
6. Four 3 1/2 inch tips out the back...isn't that a little to much? Sure it was cool for about a month...but after that...they got old really fast
7. I was getting alot of negative responses about them...some on here...and some at shows...and that told me something
8. Stainless will not rust
9. I wanted exhaust tips that don't stick out like a sore thumb
10. Because no other 3rd gen around here has them.

That's exactly it! Do it cause you want to. Nothing wrong with customization. I like both exhaust tips, but I think its kinda cool that you can take parts from a 4th gen and put them on a 3rd gen.

I am glad you decided to go with those tips. I remember you asking about them a few weeks ago. Nice choice, there is no doubt these tips compliment the lines of our cars the best. You wont be disapointed when they are installed. Oh yeah, I love mine.

thanks guys, I just cut off my quad tips...now I have to wait till next spring to get the 4th gen tips installed. Anyhow, when I cut the tips off....it REALLY reduced the tone and volume of my muffler...it was hard to believe....very very quit.
The way the 4th gen tips are made...seem like they will really crank up the volume.....they almost act like little speaker boxes

I'm looking to buy these and put them on my car very soon. Can you tell me/us where you got them so I can order? $55 seems very reasonable!

Those tips can look really good, (******* car). But they have to be tucked tight to the bumper and not stick out to far. If not done right they look good at some angles not so good at others.
Post the pics when you get them on.

Ok i take that back. They sound good when the tips are warm, cause if there cold, it sounds like one big piece of aluminum flapping back in forth. When they do finally get warmed up they seem to almost double what my car sounded like before. Just my

Wow, you got those on the day you got them huh? I just got mine in the mail today, but I had to rush off to work so I couldn't put them on.
I hope that the same thing doesn't happen with me with the alignment, I guess I will see on Monday or Tuesday.

Sounds like you need to find a better place to have the work done. If they went to all the trouble to weld them on. Knowing that it wasnt right in the first place. The person doing the work has no pride in what there doing. I never let anyone touch my car unless i have to.
