I need help. These are Elite brand according to a guy at AAA out of Cali. He wants $105 per tip.... I'm not sure if these would look good or not. They are the correct size to fit over my OEM exhaust. They are 3.5" wide.

I was also thinking of these made by R&D Thermal? They are only $59.95 a piece and don't have that rounded lip and are double wall but they are 3" and not 3.5".... Thoughts?

$105 each tip? geez.

I'd get the chrome... you'll see it a lot better against the black.

I'd get these instead.

They are less expensive, and they are 3"

3.5" is kind of obnoxious!

stick with the 3" in black. easier to keep clean

3.5" is not that obnoxious. those ginormous 6" tips on diesel pick up trucks are obnoxious! Especially when they take off from a light and belch an thick cloud of solid hydrocarbon all over the hood of your car :thumbsdown:
