Why have 4 inch tips if you don't have 4 inch exhaust?

John,
Because I like the look.
It would look POS if I just had a 2 1/2 piece of pipe hanging in it's place.

Yea but John if you add your Double Pipes TOGETHER, then you'll have at least 4" if not more!

I just have 2-1/2 chrome tips to "cover" the pipes on my 67', I think it looks good, but I also have 3" to 3.5" tip on my 72' As far as your quesion I agree with the above, I like the single wall slash cut for side exit and rolled edge or double wall for rear exit.

I drove around like that for twelve years. "to each his own" To me the big tips look fake, and somewhat ridiculous, as do most other nonfunctional decorations. If that's what you like though, more power to ya. Oops, I forgot no power gain from exhaust tips.

John, No one promised me extra HP with 4" Tips. I'm all about asthetics. Functional or not. If I had your pipes, I'd leave it in the Garage until I had enough $ to put on some Chrome tips.To each his own. You've made it quite clear that your not "into" 4" Chrome Tips. Thanks for your input.

I'm sorry about the remark Roger. That wasn't cool. Aesthetics are important to me as well. We just have different interpretations. I prefer a clean minimalist approach. I always have. You, on the other hand like shiny bolt-on stuff. It's your choice, and I shouldn't knock you for it, but you did ask for opinions even if none of the above wasn't an option. I gave you my opinion. You responded by basically calling anything without 4" tips "POS". When I replied to that you made it personal, and put down me, and my truck. Isn't that a bit childish?

Don't ask for opinions if you don't want them...
