team stevedave Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 As some of u may know from my previous threads I can never make my mind up! I want to change my exhaust tips on my zed as I want a little bigger and fresher. Just now it has 3.5" slash cut on an already full custom stainless steel system. It has a chargespeed rear bumper. On left 4" inward slash cut 1/2" thick for a fuller look On right 4.5" slash cut,burnt tip thin metal These are two options from a very reputable company. Some images of the back of my car to get an idea. I'm more towards the 4" slash cut, I think the big burnt tip can turn this car ehh... Fast n furious? Then looked at some on the net, and starting to think straight cut would look more powerful to match in with it being supercharged. Slash cut makes bumper too round? Anyway essay over, as I'm sure you have gathered im a perfectionist. And would love some outside my own head thoughts and opinions from u guys. Thanks to this forum I found the paint I love! Cheers guys. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZeppoJeff Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 I suggest the slash cut Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMballistic Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 I'd say 4" straight cut rolled stainless steel tips. Definitely something like below in order to fill the larger exhaust cut outs in the rear diffuser. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deano94 Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 I'd go for the straight cut, like the look of them. Also the slashed burnt tips but im biased as already have them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm unsure if they are 4 or 4.5" because they do look perfect on that car Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZEUS Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Same as GM said, straight cut rolled Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are burnt slash cut but the burnt has kind of disappeared :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott TMN Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 I had 5" slash cut (though not thin walled) R35 gtr tips on mine, and I always thought how I wouldn't want to go any smaller. They petruded the bumper a bit too, so didn't make the bumper rounded like above Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 As a rule, exhaust tips should not be bigger than the size of your engine. Exceptions are any Lambo, and a mk4 Supra with a dirty great turbo strapped to it with a huge single box at the rear. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brillomaster Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Get both tips, change them over every time the OCD kicks in. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ekona Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Neither, the width 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floydbax Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Big and blue would be my choice, but I'm always a bit 'left field' though trend tends to catch me up eventually Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRF4N Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 I think the blue would go well against orange Don't know if I agree with engine size and exhaust width. Plenty of 2.0 sports cars out there that would be fine with a 3" exhaust 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a 4.5" on my old Impreza below. No help I know but I just thought it might upset Dan. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No-one is going to like everything you do, so just go with your gut and take a punt. FWIW, I definitely wouldn't put the blue-tipped ones on your car with it being that colour. I might go gloss black to blend in with the pumper but that might be too subtle for you, although I think it would work perfectly with the wheels.

Adrian@TORQEN Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Titanium / burnt tips would look nice with the colour of your car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

team stevedave Posted January 5, 2016 Author Share Posted January 5, 2016 But it has a standard bumper so gives me not much of a clue. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
