MRT Rolled Tips 3.5" Polished Stainless. Much better than the MagnaFlows I have now (that are looking a bit crappy). Looking forward to these bad boys. Pics soon!

Happy Birthhday! Nice! I have rolled tips on mine and I love them! They dont look as good from the side profile but from the rear they look amazing!

Just make sure you don't have them stick out to far. Other wise they will look funny from a side profile.

I'm not sure what you meant by this. Can you clarify please? I drove 20 mins and one of the set screws holding the pipe to the hanger bar let go. Was the welding you mentioned to address that problem? The Magnaflow set screws held for 8 years.... the MRTs are smaller and held for 10 mins.

Also I cant get the pipes to perfectly line up in the cutouts.... the rubber hangers that hold the rod from the tips are at totally different heights relative to my rear bumper. I dont have enough adjustment to get the left one up to the right height because the rubber piece itself is so low relative to the bumper...

Never been in a collision or anything so I guess its a factory quality thing. Has anyone else dealt with this?

pics are on the way...
