Sheba65 Posted February 12, 2013 Posted February 12, 2013 I would like to buy one of those twin exhaust tips I see in a lot of the clubs pictures. My tail pipe is solid and I would like to get the old rusted tip cut off and get a new one welded on. Where is the best and how many choice are there?
D-a-n-i-e-l Posted February 12, 2013 Posted February 12, 2013 Stop by a decent muffler shop. This way you can see what one suits your taste and they can throw it on (properly Not one of the cheap screw/clamp ones).
Barney Eaton Posted February 12, 2013 Posted February 12, 2013 The original Reatta tailpipe was stainless. I polished mine years back and it still looks good today.It takes some effort, sand off the original black paint and progressively use finer sand paper then polish. Depending on your dedication, you can almost make it look like chrome.
Bushwack Posted February 12, 2013 Posted February 12, 2013 I had a choice of six to choose from. I go with two designs: Those in my signature are standard double circulars or for a more performance look the same design but cut off the tips at a 20 degree angle.
Ronnie Posted February 12, 2013 Posted February 12, 2013 I like those round ones in your signature photo. Where can I get some for my car? Do you have to cut the stock pipes to install those? I have chrome turn downs on my car but I've never been really happy with them.

My tail pipe is solid and I would like to get the old rusted tip cut off and get a new one welded on. Where is the best and how many choice are there?The factory mufflers were one pipe in and two pipes out. They were also painted black - unless you were Frank Sinatra Jr.Sounds like your muffler was replaced with a one in/one out. You could replace it with something like a Walker #18240 - which has a 2-1/4" input pipe and two 2" output pipes like the original, though it isn't stainless. Then have the muffler shop weld chrome tips to the pipes.
Bushwack Posted February 12, 2013 Posted February 12, 2013 I saw these on a mid 1990s Lotus Esprit. I took three or four pictures at different angles, showed the pictures to my mechanic and he put them on. I don't know who the manufacturer is. They are removable and cost about $200 installed.
