I'm nearly sold on buying a magnaflow catback for my 95 GT. the only thing holding me back is the 3.5" tips that come with the kit. 3.5" seems way too big.

Does anyone have any good pics of these tips on our cars?

Hey if you have emission testing then the guy could just stick his head in the tail pipe instead of using the sniffer. "Hmm..looks clean in here." Seriously 3.5 inch tips would be holding me back too. Thats a big pipe.

Jesus, thats a huge picture. I had the tips on, then I took them off and welded the stockers back on, but then I kind of missed them and put the 3.5 back on. I really disliked them at first but they kind of grew on me.

The stock piping is 2.25", the tips are 2.5". The Magnaflow set is 2.5" pipes with 3.5" tips.

I think the 3.5 inchers are too big also. But I really don't even like tailpipes out the back.

I like the 3.5" tips too. The rear end of our cars is kinda big anyway, and the tips really help fill it out. Whenever I see other cars with 2.5" they almost look too small to me. But it is all personal preference.

Here's a couple shots of my car ('94 green vert/tan top w/magnaflow catback 3.5" tips):

I vote that they are too big. I think 2.5" tips are perfect.

I'm definetly a fan of the 3" tips, but they are much harder to come by, and even then, usually the 3.5" are cheaper... crazy world out there...

I just had them put on my 95 GT and wish they were 3". They look mean, but are approaching fart-can size.
