Tailpipes and Exaust Tips Ideas?

Just wondering what some of you are doing with your tailpipes and exaust tips. Mine are turned down at the rear without tips and I am running Flowmaster 40 series mufflers. I have thought about changing the tailpipes for some reason, not sure why. Any photo's and idea's would be greatly appricated.

Re: Tailpipes and Exaust Tips Ideas?

it's a good idea torun the exhaust out from under the truck. the fumes will end up causing the frame to corrode and rust, the added heat is never good for the rubber brake line that feeds the rear brakes.

I have 2 1/2inch exhaust with flowmasters all the way over the rear exiting out behind the wheels close to the factory location.

Re: Tailpipes and Exaust Tips Ideas?

Mine is all tucked up under and I really like it. You can't see any of it unless you get under the truck (done by a PO). It is a 4wd Blazer though. I have pics on one of my other computers so I'll post them later.

This truck was on ebay but I routed my system the same. Something a little different anyway.

I really have had now problem feeling the heat off the exhaust,but I do have the insulation,carpet,and a factory mat in the cab. Also the air stay running
as much as possible. But I will have to put heat sheilds in the back when I install a wooden floor!!(mufflers are real close)
