Just looking for opinions

Just seeing what you guys think of these tips, and honestly i don't think i like them very much. I figured they came with the kit so I'd see what they look like anyway......what do you guys think?

Hooker tips look good, but make sure that they are pushed even with the bumper.

Doesn't look good to me. Single tips would probably look better.

I would certainly tuck them in further under the bumper. I'm also a fan of long slant cut single tips that end at the bumper.

I have those with my aerochamber kit. I pushed them back as far as they can go and they still stick slightly out past my bumper. I think it still looks good but wish it would be flush

I had those tips for a few years, however the hooker cat back rusted out like a Pos. Now i have the big 3 inch slant cut singles and i think i like them better.

Use turndowns to point them at the ground. And at that point the exhuast is a lot cooler. Your cat(s) get a lot hotter than exiting exhaust gas and they are under the car...

Carbon Monoxide is heavier than air, so it won't drift up into your car much, if at all. The only time it would ever be an issue is if you were to leave the car sitting stationary and running for long periods of time though.

yeah like summer traffic and such. look at any liftgate of most any car. it specifically says not to leave it open with the engine running for such reason. just my thoughts
