Exhaust Tips from WALMART!!
Hey guys and gals, I was doing some research on here about getting new exhaust tips for my 8. I saw that alot of you are paying upwards or $100 for tips?? Well I just wanted to let you know I found a pair of resonating tips at WALMART of all places for $12.95 each. Now I know some of you will be skeptical, however I there are actually nice and quality stainless steel made from Pilot Sport, and believe it or not, they actually do make the car sound a bit deeper. I SWARE!! Anyway, just wanted to throw that out there. Here are some pics of them as well, sorry for the dirty car, its winter, what ya goin to do. Later.

yeah they are bolt on, pretty easy to get on, the nice thing is that you can't see the bolts because of the tips comming out of the bumper. About them looking stock, they are about an inch bigger around than stock and have a slight cut to them, can't really tell in the picture.

These Walmart thingies look fine - certainly better than the stock ridiculously small tips. What was Mazda thinking?
I still like my Magnaflow tips though

Oh, yeah forgot to mention that I had to sawsall the old ones off. Not so difficult if you choose the right blade right off the bat. I was using a heavy metal blade, however it was too flimsy. So after i went to the wood With nails blade it was just fine. What you have to do is slide the blade in between the exhaust pipe and the tip. There are 4 brackets that need to be cut. Kinda a pain but it was worth it, these look much better than stock, I think.

No offense taken, I was just stating the fact. I know what you meant. I am damn proud of my $24.99 find. WALMART RULES!!! 
Except for the fact that they won't say Merry Christmas, that does not rule.

Here is a link to a site that sells them.
