I really dont care for the aluminized look that my Flowmaster pipes have. I cant afford 180 bucks plus shipping for a set of MAC polished tail pipes so I was looking at some polished tips but dont ever see them on our cars. Wanted to get some input on if you guys and gals think it will look ok. These are from Summit and have a 2.5 in and 3" out and are 8" long so they will cover the pipe all the way to the pipe hanger and have a rolled slant tip. They will cost $40, should I do it or just keep the aluminized look?

Got a pic of what you have already? And do you have a link to those tips, I ask because there are no hangers on them and you will have to put some on. The Mac pipes have rolled tips just so you know

Here's a pic of the Mac's on my car

All I have is the standard Flowmaster American thunder cat back with the slash tip 2.5" aluminized pipes. The Summit tips slide over the Flowmaster pipes and go back 8" (right where the hanger is) so I dont have to weld anything or add a new hanger. So I figured from the side of the car you could see the point where it goes from chrome to aluminium But basicaly it looks like it will look just like yours so I guess I will order them.
These are the only two shots I have of the pipes.

Aluminized tips ??


I have FLowmaster cat-backs on both my Mustangs and they came with Stainless-Steel tips



Those tips are way to short anyway. You cna see the entire tip so you really need either 18" or 20" long tips.

MRT makes some nice tips

You could always just polish yours and save some money

go to performancepeddler.com They have a huge selection of exhaust tips and are affordable too. and 18" or longer would be your best bet.

I've been looking for some good tips as well. Anyone know where to get some good 3.5" slash cut tips?

I loved the ones that came with my old Mac catback. I don't want to have to buy the whole catback just for the tips, because I am making my own system.

IMO, the only tips that I care 4 on 94-98's are the stock, or stock looking tips where its polished the whole length of the tailpipe since they are so visible from the side...Not too fond of the weld on 3.5 inch tip look since our tips dont hide behind bumper cutouts like the 99-04's do....The stock looking tips flow with the lines of the car better IMO...

Heres a pic of my Flowmaster tailpipes...

I bought them from a guy here locally...They are for an 87-93 LX, but they fit fine on my car...I actually like how they tuck underneath...Summit sells the 94-98 Flowmaster tailpipes for like $150 or so....

Dont buy the summit tips, they arent the best quality. I have returned two sets of them in the past. For a 99-04 they arent that bad because not much of the tip is exposed, but on your car you want a good quality tip because you can see a good portion of it.
