3.5 inch tips are too big for a Fox IMHO. I even feel 3 inch is too big. 2.5 is just right!

3" tips are the best looking overall. Not too big nor too small. Although, the 3.5" tips on that vert do look pretty good.

Here is a pic of 3" tips. 3.5" looked too big. I know it is not an LX but it gives you an idea of what they would look like.

By the way, I had to lighten the picture a lot so you could see the tailpipes so the colour of my car looks WAY off.

Sweet!!!!

I always liked my 2 1/4" tails on my 89 coupe.




I run the 3.5" on my Cobra now.

I got 3" tails on their way. The tails can make or break the look, and I want to be the guy running 9s or better while still running tails. Something about an external fuel pump, on a full out race car, with shiny tailpipes sticking out the back!!
