Surprised there isn't a "sticky" in this section for this subject already.
I'm looking to finish off the raw 3" sewer pipes on my car and looking for ideas. Leaning towards angle cut/oval tips of some kind. Didn't realize finding tips to fit a 3" OD pipe would be so hard.
Can 2.5 inlet stainless tips be expanded to fit inside or over a 3" pipe without splitting?
Any pic's or suggestions?
Cheers

This is just a suggestion, I buy a lot of u bends and header parts from these people, and they are pretty well known for stainless exhaust. They have a pretty good mail order service I think they could make you up some stainless steel tips and bologna cut them and expand the ends. There phone # is 1-800-290-3920, Stainless headers Mfg. Inc., there web site is www.stainlessheaders.com. Check them out.

Summit has several tips to choose from. Here is just one.

I bought the Magnaflow stainless system which gave me both options to either run straight back, or to the sides under the bumper extensions.
I didn't like either location so I cut the tail pipes shorter and now they are midway between the wheelhouse and bumper.

Finally decided.

After looking over dozens of tip styles online I found these at a local discount tool/autoparts store right in town. They are identical to a Magnaflow model, but unmarked. My tailpipes were 3" outside diameter and the tips were 2.5" so I had the inlet expanded to 2.800" and they slipped right in. Couple of set screws to secure.I'm happy.

Those DO look good! Love the oval shape. Glad you are happy with them.
