Question New tips for the stock exhaust?

As the title says - I'd like to make my stock exhaust look a little more sharp... don't want to replace the whole system since I don't want to change the sound but better looks would be welcome.
Also I noticed that the two tips don't stick out the same from the bumper - the left one sticks out more than the right, so that bugs me now too
Did anyone find some nice looking tips that can be welded to the stock pipes? What is the best place to look for tips? Any good online stores with images?
I'm looking for good quality tips, not some junky PepBoys or similar stuff. T-304 would be probably good or something equally long lasting.

If you got some ideas for a source, please post away. Thanks.

Now that's what I'm talking about. They look really good. I second the question: where did you get those? What kind of tips are they? Are they rolled or just plain 4" ones? (they look like rolled, but I thought I'll ask)

Actually, I saw some oval circumference tips (still round in the inside) that looked pretty good too (but were some $80 apiece plus install)... but these are nice as well. Keep them coming... with other info too, not just pics, dammit :D

Thumbs up tips

they are made by magnaflow and no they do not change the sound of the car. you should be able to find them at your local muffler shop and pay $30 for each+ the install. (sorry they are 3.5 inches not 4). glad you guys liked them...

Cool... thanks for the links. Those round double wall Magnaflow tips look pretty good. I just have to make up my mind if I like 3.5" or 4" diameter. I think I'll stay with 3.5" - length-wise, probably the 7.5" is the good one seeing that the stock slip-on tips are 5", so 4" might not work. Also, straight or angled? I think the straight looks somewhat better, but the angled isn't bad either.

Luckily, those prices on the Magnaflow site are not the real ones... a simple Google search turned up vendors who are selling the same stuff for less than half of those prices

frankcastle123, are your tips straight or angled? Can't really decide from the pic... my guess would be that they are angled but please confirm.
Thanks.

This is also what I was looking for as well.

I am thinking about 4" Diameter 2.25" I.D. Inlet 7.5" Length (part # 35121)

So, to confirm, the inlet size for the tips we can put on our car is 2.25"?

frankcastle123, did you have to weld the tips? How did you install them? I am worried about corrosion.
