Ok, I got a set of tailpipes that were part of my old Flowmaster cat-back I had. I have since sold the mufflers/flowtubes and have these tips sittin in the garage. I put my old mufflers back on that came with the car(stainless? replacements) I got them dumped, sounds cool but the drone gets to you drivin around town and I miss the look of the tails. I tried installin the tips to these mufflers but they don't seem to reach the back of the mufflers. Seems like these mufflers are shorter/wider than the Flows were. What should I do? I plan on keepin these mufflers for a while since they are "like new" and seem to be stainless. Should I try some sort of extension between the muff's and tails??? Sorry for the long post but I'd appreciate any help.

Only thing you can do is add exentions to either the muffler or tails, I'd weld them to the tail pipes and clamp them with a band clamp on the muffler so you don't crimp the outlet and can remove the tails later.

Yeah, I'm thinkin some sort of extension. I just don't wanna weld the tails to the muff's in case I decide to change the muff's out. Thanks, anyone else have any other suggestions?
