Searching high and low for an exhaust tip with 3.5" inlet!
 
I can't find JACK when it comes to exhaust tips that have a 3.5" inlet. I have a Magnaflow 3.5" straight through muffler that just has a lame pipe sticking out of it. I'd like to make it a bit more aesthetically pleasing and put a 3.5" inlet to either 3.5, 4, or maybe a 4.5" outlet, with a rolled tip... Actually, at this point, anything with a 3.5" inlet I'd be willing to look at.

Any info is GREATLY appreciated... I've searched google, summit, jegs, and about 30 other online stores, but can't find ANYTHING bigger than a 3.25 inlet at this SUV store... BLAH!

you could go to a stainless supplier and just buy a 45deg or 90 deg bend, polish it up and weld it on.
voila! one exhaust tip.

What if you bought a large exhaust tip (any Honda "performance" shop should stock many too choose from). Most likely it will have a smaller inlet than you need, like a 2.25" and a good sized outlet, like a 4.5". Cut away the inlet of it at the portion of the "flaring" so that it's a 3.5" inlet.

I'd thought about that, but most of those tips have resonators in them... not sure what that would do to the sound / life / quality of the exhaust system...

Burns has a SS transition from 3.5" - 4.5". I'm thinking about picking up one of these and just cutting an angle on the end of it to make it look like an exhaust tip :) Or maybe a machine shop or something could roll the tip, but I don't exactly know what that entails....

Yeah, that's what I would do. Buy that 3.5" - 4.5" transition and polish it up into a tip. Good thinking, I've actually done that before, but with smaller piping on a non-rotary car. Works good.

Holy god man, if you have a 3.5" pipe what do you need a tip for?
