Probably not the best place to ask but the place where I'll get the best answers.

I built my own exhaust sytem from the DP to the bumpers. Everything is done save the tips. I have not been able to find a tip that I like that is cheaper than the mufflers. I didn't cheap out either, I bought magnaflows. Let me repeat becuase I'm being serious.... I cannot find a tip that I like that is cheaper than the muffler. Needs to be a 2.5" inlet and 3-3.5" outlet. Any and all suggestions are welcome. Looking for something more on the subtle side. RB's tips are beautiful. Thanks guys.

 

i went through the same debate a bit. Not sure what style you're looking for, but the prices aren't too bad and the quality is good.

I don't know if you've seen these. They are the closest look to the RB tips I have been able to find. You can get them in stainless but they are expensive, about $70 a tip IIRC.

You might also want to look at "Summit" brand tips on there, about $20 for stainless steel.

 

The Edelbrock ones look good. I think It wasn't showing up because I was searching for stainless. Nice find though on those and the Cone eng

 

You have a few options:
$30 per

or

buy some 3 or 3.5" polished stainless tubing and cut your own tip. You can either buy a reducer (20 bucks from verocious) and weld that to the polished stuff or just weld the stainless stuff to your muffler and center the exit of the muffler inside of the pipe. I am assuming you already bought/mounted the rear muffler so you could not cheat and buy a 2.5 inlet muffler with a 3.5 outlet muffler so you could weld the tubing directly to the outlet. If you want a rolled tip, just go to a hotrod shop or another metal shop with a roller and roll the edge of the tube.

 

A friend and I are building a set of nice dual wall rotor shaped tips for his car, but at this point only the metal is cut out. How about RX-8 tips?
