Racing Beat Tip modification?
On my TII the previous owner put a NA racing beat system ypipe and back. I have noticed that the turbo catback system tips seem to angle upward more, I think the straight tips look weird from the back and am wondering if it would it be possible to heat up and bend these tips up at a slight angle to make it look better (like the turbo mufflers). I am wondering if anyone has done this?
Just a late night idea, might be stupid

I thought they were all the same angle at the tip, but as they are chrome, I'd say no. Just an FYI-The n/a muffler is a smaller diameter than the Turbo set up. If you don't care about the Racing Beat emblem, just cut the outer shell off and add the chrome size and angle you like.

If you are very good with the torch, you may be able to move them around. But you will probably end up crushing the pipe and melting parts of the muffler.
If it really matters, cut the tip off, grind the tube to a slight angle and then weld it back on.

Yea I don't like the fact that it is an NA exhaust cause the diameter but I don't think its too restricting really. The day I go bigger turbo Ill probably go single.
Aaron thats probably a good idea. Its such an expensive system I would not want to mess it up.
