i just got my new tips and u- bend delete in the mail today. im goona try and get them welded on this week end.

heres some teaser picss....

Those tips are GREAT, are those the dual rolled tips from ebay ?

Nice, buy why did you actually buy the ubend.
Would been cheaper and better setup having someone just well in a pipe for you.

there these sexy beasts

i got the ubend from a friend for 15 bucks so i took it. he wound up selling his car b4 he could install it.

Ya I didn't think people still bought u-bend deletes lol.

Mirror finish for life huh lol sounds like a shamwow deal haha

I didn't think people actually bought U-bend deletes.

Those tips are going to look nice!

Nice looking tips!

That's nice. Can't wait to see install them.

Those are the exact same tips I just took off mine. They do hold up well with just some cleaning.

Here's a pic of mine after I took them off.

Tim, you sellin those tips?

They are sold Rick

Yup, sold...I was just posting pic to show they do hold up well with very little maint.

AAAARRRRGGGHHHHH!!!

how were they?

were they a pain to get welded on?

I take all my exhaust work to a local shop, he welded them on in less than an hour so I'm guessing it was fairly easy.

how much did this guy charge you?

should i try and remove the old tips by myself? to save money?

HAHA good luck with those tips, ive heard plenty of stories with no luck, go to a shop, then can get them nice and aligned too so ones not hanging by a couple inches.

he took my old tips off with sawzall and welded the new ones on, cost me $60 which given it took him about an hour sounds about right.

I gave up on doing exhaust work myself long ago. If I had a torch and pipe bender/spreader/swell I might consider it but not likely that will happen.
I'd rather pay the money and have it look right than lay on my back all afternoon grunting and cussing.

what price should i ask for it to be done? i dropped it off and i pay when i get back.

u bend install -???

tips removal and install - ???

I really like those, I will probably end up getting some. I am in need of new tips now since mine are starting to rust from the salt this winter.

ill have some pics up tonight for you

any ideas on price? i dont wanna get gipped lol

No more $50

But you should get a quote before leaving your car there to get work done.
Written over verbal!

50 for both the u bend and the tips install?

well he just called me. its goona be $200

20 for the adapters
50 for the install
30 for the u bend
and 106 for a rear o2 sensor cause he stripped the threads off of it taking it out. awesome

So he is making you pay for the 02 sensor he broke? I don't think so.
And rear 02 is a joke to have anyways.

Yeah I agree with Steve, you shouldn't have to pay for something he broke.

Rear o2 just detects whether the cat is working or not. It's not even needed. Just have him plug the o2 bung. You'll set an SES code but don't worry.

ya, theres NO way i would pay for that. Id be like "dude, you stripped it, your replacing it! Its not like im the one that stripped it trying to take it out!" besides, if worse comes to worse, you buy a new rear 02 from zzp for like $50 and install it yourself!

x4. Do not pay for his mistake.

yea i already paied him but i have to go back because theres this grey goo crap that hardened on the inside of the tip. it came from inside the exaust. so that is his fault and hes goona pay me for my tips if he cant get them clean.

that grey goop is either muffler cement or bits of weld. Good luck. I would ask for my 106 dollars back though...

Hmmm, that's odd. Do you have pics of the grey stuff?

i now present to you in W I D E S C R E E N lol











and just cause i felt like it haha
the cars dirty i havent washed it in a week dont hate




i like the distance they stick out its even with the edge of the bumper but i want to bring it up alittle closer to the bumper cause i think its too low the way it is. how can i do that?

looks real nice! I thought you had projectors? Ya, i was going to say, you need to raise those up a bit so that they sit nice and snug inside the cutout.

yea i have projectors but there at 4drgt's place getting tinted. after i get those back they will get put on for the summer and i will send him my tails.

he sent me a pic of them and they look AMAZING LOL

just the sides are getting tinted, or the whole thing?

Sorry man, you got ripped.

$200+ for an o2 sensor that he broke and crooked sagging exhaust tips?

I would ask for my money back.

The tips themselves are very nice though, I am definitely going to get some.

You can either replace the four rubber hangers on the mufflers (Walker Exhaust part# 35460), or wrap a hose clamp around them to tighten them up a bit. Leave a 1" gap between the bumper and tips.

im getting them welded to some borlas next year so i can deal with it. and i argued with 4 guys there and they all said no. so i cant do much.

Cars looks damn good dirty!
I would say they could be positioned little better, but mine aren't perfect either. (rubber hangers blah)
