After over a year with these resonated tips I have to say resonated TIPs make a HUGE difference in the end result. My ears no longer ring when I WOT in a tunnel. Cold starts sound much nicer now. Less rice and the rolled tips just look good. Even idle sounds way better than the high pitched tingy stock tips
Well, I think you might have sold me. I found the same ones you have in polished instead of black (prefer the look of polished) for 33 each on CARID, so that's a done deal. It says they're 9" length, which seems pretty long. How was fitment and how far do they stick out? I don't mind a bit of poke, but I don't want them sticking crazy far out back.

Oh and I realized you're the nut driving around New York with the top down and no windscreen! Kudos to you, you crazy bastard! Thanks for helping me decide on this mod, your post here and a couple YT vids were all I needed to make the choice. Between the low cost and the unreal sound, I don't see why anyone should have to spend hundreds on an axleback, or even more for a catback, when you can just do this and sound so good.

Your mechanic will ask you what exact position you want by holding the tip in place for you and then he will weld it on once you’re satisfied
Just got back from the shop. Hoooooly shit does this sound amazing! I put the resonated tips on like you did and it definitely was the right idea! The exhaust note is deep, with a serious growl, but no buzzy rasp or any drone whatsoever. Just cruising with the top down, it's completely calm, but once I put my foot down it just roars. So glad I didn't waste money on an axleback kit. 100 dollars labor, 80 bucks for the tips and it's perfection.

Sounds the freaking same. Volume wise at least, but pitch does sound lower when driving.

Was hoping this would tone down my morning cold starts.

Edit: After a few tunnel runs, the pitch at the high end is DEFINITELY lower, because it's no longer ear piercing with the top down, but a deeper tone.
What’s with the animosity towards the support jobs? Just curious.

I hear ya, just don’t think people would think too kindly of that plate driving around military sense areas. I’d be weary myself of some asshat keying a car or something.

On side note, your exhaust sounds solid.
