It's a really cheesy AutoZone tip.

Ricey????

I went through the trouble to get one that looks elegant, not ricey.

Oh! maybe the 5" dia extended ones are the cool and non ricey ones

eh, it doesnt look to bad. I dont think its ricey on your car, its just that, well, I think bolt-on tips IN GENERAL are kinda cheesy. Its ok for now, but, i would for sure save up some money and get atleast a bolt on muffler....and not one that tapers and has a fat tip either. One thats a 'fireball' style....
Get one like this...




And NOT like this (these look like cheesey wal-mart mufflers)...




As always, this is JUST MY OPINION!!!

K dawg.... money is not the object.

I did not want a 20 gallon barrel sticking out my cars exhaust.
I was looking for an elegant tip that looks OEM, not add on.
And this was it. a rectangle tip(almost squarish) with rounded edges made of Stainless Steel from Pilot Automotive.

I guess it is a matter of taste.

Why do you say the first muffler (Racer Design) is a bolt-on ? Dont you have to cut your muffler to put it ???

Thanks

Yeah, you have to taek off your OEM muffler and weld this one on, but, i meant 'bolt-on' in the sense that it isnt an axle-back or a full cat-back...
