I LOVE the look of dual tips on the 7. I'd say get a magnaflow dual tip like this one and add it to the end of whatever system you come up with (Borla is a must)

I was just kidding. You have to expect some jokes if you put a whale tail on your car. Steve's car does look nice. The paint looks great.

When my original stock tail pipes started to wobble because the mounting screws and bracket rusted out, I searched around for a reasonably priced aftermarket facsimile. I couldn't find anything that had the simple squared off style of the stock ones (which I like best) but I did find these at autozone or advanced auto or someplace like that, for $5.97 each.



Notice I had to do a little cutting and add some custom mounting screws, but the assemblies are solid and work fine. The flared tips might even help push the exhaust out away from the body a bit more, helping to keep the exhaust stains down.

Sounds nice. Whats the set-up?

I'm thinking of just going with a straight pipe... no muffler or anything. But i'm entertaining the idea of dual motorcycle style slip ons.

That's a bonez race pipe in place of the three stock 84/85 cats ($150, shiped), with autozone tips ($10). The muffler, connector pipe and exhuast manifold are all stock, which makes it easy to convert back to emissions if necessary.
