Exhaust Tip Ideas

[Jeff@Spartan]

Needing some help, and possibly pictures, to help me decide how to place an exhaust tip on this exhaust so that it looks decent. I hate the angle the exhaust exits. It looks like the stock exhaust on an LMM Duramax. I am trying to decide if I should just cut it back some and do a 12" long tip on the same angle, or if I should cut it way back and try and get a different angle with an 18" long tip. I was thinking if I cut it back, I could do the longer tip and have it angled down somewhat and exiting just passed the rear tire.

Thanks for any input, and like I said...pics of your exhaust setups are appreciated. I would prefer people post up that had a similar angle to deal with!

Thanks!

Take the tail section of the exhaust off if it angles down over the rear axle and put the tip there at a 45 to the ground? Just a thought that's free

I'm looking for free anyway other than the tip itself. Just gotta figure out where to hack the exhaust to put a tip. I thought about doing the axle dump style, but I want the tip to be visible somewhat. My truck isn't high enough to sport the axle dump exhaust.

Basically you will need to find a tip you like and then cut to fit. I vote for the 12" tips, dual exhaust at a x and angled to the ground just past the rear differential. Saw them on a gasser the other day. OMG! LOL

Hopefully the guy who owns this truck doesn't mind me posting this. I was thinking something similar to this as far as the angle goes, but just the one side since I don't have or plan on doing duals.

That is about how mine is. I don't really have an angle of the tip towards the ground though. I do like the miter cut . I think mine has more even with the ground, meaning it is horizontal to it.

Mine comes out directly under the corner of the bumper... I like the looks of the duals on that 6.0L though...

Ok, that is how mine looks. Hard to remember when it seems like I haven't seen it in months. Except I do believe my tip is larger in diameter and also longer, so the transition isn't as visible.

Yea. I kinda like the angle down like that truck has I posted up. One of the reasons being it's different and another reason is the fact that I have a white truck. The white gets covered in soot over time if I don't give the truck a bath for awhile.

That's what I am trying to get away from. I personally am not a fan of the exhaust tip pointing back at the corner of the truck like that.

I've been contemplating going to the Banks tailpipe...

If I were you and the exhaust is clamped together.. Take the tail pipe section to a muffler shop and have them put a slight bend on the end toward the ground. Then cut it back a bit to fit whatever tip you get. I would also get the tip first so you can kind of mock it up to see what you want.

Thats how my old tip looked. Its almost the same now just cut back a slight bit and it is now a black tip. Ill try to get a pic tomorrow.

 

[Dieselroller]

Yea cut mine back with a short black tip. Still visible but kind of tucked behind tire! Which is good for the overall steathy look I'm going for. Got some pics in another forum on here.

I believe i took that second picture LOL

Jeff i have the same exhaust angle as jacob and hate it so i cut mine back by the last hanger and put a long tip on. looks better but only downside is the bumper gets pretty black

 

[JDub]

the bumper gets pretty black

You just need more nitrous...

 

[Dieselroller]

I don't worry about the soot on the bumper... Just spend every Saturday washing the big bastard! I'm more about the look! Blw coal and it's gonna get on the truck somewhere anyway!

 

[Dieselroller]

Need to find a shop around me that can bend 4" pipe. Would still like mine to dump a bit for the look

Mine angles out even and is 22" in length so you don't have to see the flare out to 6", unless you're really looking for it. I'll get a closer shot tomorrow.

I like that side dual setup posted above if they were more round instead of oval, but it's a little flashy.
