    I'm looking to upgrade my exhaust system pretty soon and my exhaust tips need to be replaced also. What exhaust tips have you guys gotten. 4" dual exhaust tips or 3.5"? Pictures would be much appreciated.I saw some on Ebay, but I'm not sure what will fit perfect on there. Thanks.

    I tried cleaning them a bit because they were a little beat up and they look ok. But i would prefer something more open, i dont really like that little center piece that stock tips have

    Gotcha!

    If you do go the eBay route look for camaro/corvette tips cause thas what most of the people put on,with that being said size wise would be up to you cause everyone has their preference on what they think looks/fits good.

    Ive been wondering this too. I found one that has a picture of em on a firebird, its a 2.5 inlet and a 4inch outlet .
    Looks pretty sweet. Also they're staggered and shown to fit Grand Prixs.

    Most people usually go for the 3.5" duals with a 2.5" inlet from Ebay, but they are price gouging them at the moment, last I looked was $300 for both. Use to be $125 for both, not sure what happened there, but they won't be selling any for that price.

    With proper use of a welder and piping you could modify these to work but they are 3" inlets

    You could upgrade to all 3" piping, then not worry about it. LS4 sounds good with exhaust work. Do it.

    Better is all preference

    1) Nice tips, proper size, but being the same on both sides the outside tips will stick out further as they are not staggered to match the roundness of the rear bumpers.

    2) These are staggered, but only 3" diameter so they will fit well but look smaller than alot of people who usually get the 3.5" dual tips.
    I'm kind of anal and wouldn't get them based soley on the FLOWMASTER engraving.

    3) Perfect, minus the fact that they are too big to fit in the cutout. This requires you hang them low, or cut the bumper to make them fit. Either way, been done before by Blueguy.

    G8 gxp tips.. 2.5 inlet 4 inch $125 from ebay. I had to cut a little on each side of bumper valence, but being a gxp I don't know for sure if you'd have to or not. But going from 2.5 to 3 inch may be too much to flare out but I'm not sure..they flared my 2.25 to 2.5 inch no problem. You'd have to ask about a half inch though, but they'd probably do a 2.5 to 3 inch adapter n be alright.
    Here's the link for them. 2 Stainless Steel Dual Exhaust Tips 4 0 2 5 Pontiac G8 GT GXP SS Pair 2 5" 4 0" | eBay
