Great job Fred. But I do agree with Alex that the pipes look a little small in the pictures. Maybe they look bigger outside. Did you get them from that muffler shop I told you about?

The reason you see exhaust tip small is that I had to cut 1" on each side of the bumper on the exhaust tip side to make it fit or exhaust tip will burn the bumper. Hence you see some empty space on the outer side of exhaust tips.
Tip is 3" or 76mm
The problem was Dinan muffler left no space to move to the right. So muffler tips on left side was left where it was. I took it to World Muffler shop on El Camino Real to do custom job. I drew out a plan and guided him how to do it and how I wanted it. It took 4 hours to complete to make it nice like that. Dinan tips were cut off and replaced with 2 3" tips.

The tips do look small.
They would look better if they were in the midlle instead of the inside.But looking directly from the back i think it looks MEAN
