Exhaust tips where lower reverse lights are...

[rodd62]

alright i went to my exhuast shop and they said it wasnt possible...my exhaust shop isnt very good at custom setups. but i want some opinions and some recommendations on how i should have some one do this. what i want to do is have a duel tips come out where the lower reverse lights are. what would i need as far as heat shielding and what not. any help would be great. thanks.

I saw that exact thing on a sunfire, it looked, different, to say the least. So I know its possible.

[rodd62]

It was different, reminded me of an old corvette..

It was neat. Not my taste, so I really can't give you that great of an opinion. Its a great custom job tho, just you would need inserrts in the plastic to keep it from melting.

Just out of curiousity, but where would the reverse lights go?

[rodd62]

there are reverse lights in the tail lights too :)

Oh... I see.... I feel stupid now.

I don't stand behind my car very often when it's backing up. :D

LOL you dont have to stand behind it when you back up, you can see the clear part in the tail light...LOL i hope no one ever does that to see their reverse lights...:D

Are only the top two used to actually light the ground behind you?

Sorry for going off topic by the way.

its cool, but no the brightest ones are on the bumper but *** kit owners (which dont have the bumper lights) havent complain from what i have seen. and i have seen people tint there lower reverse lights too and no issues from what ive seen.

I think it can be done. I took a look under my car and there is alot of room for piping on the side. I thought about doing it and then something chaned my mind. But i may end up doing it this summer because i dislike mine as of now...... SO GO FOR IT!

Won't it look sort of strange having the existing exhaust, uhh, cutouts (if that's the right word) empty? I don't think it will look all that great, I guess I'd have to see it in front of me to have a good opinion, though. Do what you think is right, man... but sorry, no suggestions on how it can be done.:wave:

i have an SE man...so i again am not blessed with your GT looks.

Sorry to hear that... but once again I should've been paying attention and wasn't. (Since it says in your profile that you have an SE) Anyway, that changes everything. I think it would look sweet with an SE rear! I say go for it... :thumbs: I would think it's pretty simple as far as installation, as long as you have a reputable shop do the work... good luck!

lol lol lol

[rodd62]

any ideas on the heat shielding, etc for this to not melt my bumper???

[rodd62]

oh and i forgot, i spent like an hour or 2 last night looking for tips. now i need some tips that wont heat up too much (if thats possible) and i need ones that will possible be angled tips so they can sort of follow the curve of the bumper. thanks.

Hijacker!!!:D

Those tips look like ractives. Anybody know where i can get some tips like that or ractive style GTP tips? I've looked everywhere but can't find them.

[rodd62]

come on guys try to stay on topic, i need some serious advice on this.

[jason]

I think it might look pretty cool since u have an SE. GT's would be different since they have exhaust cutouts. I saw a green late model ford mustang v6 with a body kit that had the same thing your thinking of doing. Looked pretty sweet!

[rodd62]

cool this is making me happy...i cant wait for the summer now.
