You means there is no need to take off any stock part from the muffler at all?
Just put the tip over it and tighten it up with the screws?

ZoomZoomH November-20th-2002 08:54 AM

eh, a screw-on muffler tip?

smells like rice to me....

just get the whole damn muffler already!

misbehave November-20th-2002 09:29 AM

Well, I am not getting the whole muffler until I save up enough money for a turbo kit installation.

Hey man, you want a tip, go get one. But I'd LOVE to be able to talk you out of those "light-up" exhaust tips.

First off, RICE. Second, RICE. Third - these are SOOO annoying to EVERYONE behind you. They are bright, distracting, and will be hopefully be outlawed soon - if they are not already illegal.

It's purely my opinion, and I'm sure you'll get it if you want it - but forgetting about the ricey part - it's just one of those "look how frigging rude I can be" mods that does nothing but annoy people and make for a dangerous condition behind you. They really are bright.

I understand what you mean and appreciate your advice.
I am not 100% firm on getting it yet.
I am still just thinking.
The reason I like it because it looks kind of like those afterburner on a fighter-jet.

When you say they are annoying, do you mean because the LED are constantly blinking with the brake light that make it annoy? Or simply because of the brightness of the LED that make it annoying?

I think he meant annoying in the same way as LED washer nozzles, none-functional blinking lights that, maybe IHO, but definitely IMO, kills the look of the car and make it look TACKY and LOW RENT, and BAD TASTE in general....

but if you're into those kind of style, no one can stop you, it's a free country after all (so far)... :rolleyes:

why buy just a tip for like $60 dollars? get a mufler if you're getting something........this is the same like buying super crome plated plastick for steel wheels...its just gay.

Well, yeah - annoying like that, too.

But these tips are seriously distracting - the LEDs are really bright, and they're right in a driver's line-of-sight. See if you can get behind someone who has one of these things (at NIGHT) - you'll see what I mean. I hate them - not just because they're ugly (IMO), but because they are so distracting and annoying.

Afterburner - hehe. And huge aluminum wings make your car look like a racecar.

hm............aluminum wings............somehow I never like the look of it putting on a normal street car.

Well, thanks for you guys' input, I will sure consider about all the factors and might save the dollars for something else.

I have so many things want to do now with my new P5.
I have already got the new light bulbs and the CAI.
I am planning to tint the side windows and put windshield decal on.
Maybe also changing to gold or bronze color wheels when the stock tires wear out.
