Cutting Exhaust Tip!!!!!!!

[Troyziee]

g'dai guys,
ive got a vp calais, with a stock exhaust, and the tip sticks out of the rear bumper 2 far, and im not plaining on buyin a exhaust, i was thinking of just cutting it 1-2inches shorter and then heating it and bending it in2 a dump pipe, i doin this as a asthetic thing, not tryin 2 get a different sound, wondering if any1 has done it or got sum pics
also its a stock black pipe, n wondering with a bit of sanding and polishing will it chrome up or is it black tha whole way through??

this is an example of tha stock zaust

bugger that, im jus gona take it 2 my mates, jak it up take tha rear bumper off n get tha oxy out

go to super cheap and get one of those chrome dumpers, then cut your exaust off to where it needs to be then belt the new one on and tack weld it in place

[Hillerus]

If you heat it with the oxy, its not gonna be a nice bend. Get an exhaust place to use a pipe bender and do the job properly

ohh dude i recently sanded mine back to metal, sanded it fine as then with metal polish... it was MINT as stainless steel, but it went a funny colour after the first day(oxidising i suppose )

oh well i got a new mega fat tip waiting for my mate to weld on ill take pics tommorrow.. get a dump tip man looks much better

hehe mine too it went kinda all purple blue is look to it i liked it untill it rusted again...

Mine sticks out quite a long way too! I made the mistake of getting a chrome tip on it though, so I can't just chop it. Grrrrrrrrrrrr. IMO twin dump tips are the way forward.

yeh i had the same problem with mine sticking out too far on my 5ltr so i chopped mine a bit but screwed the tip to the bumper so it looked like things were where they were supposed to be

paradox616, was ur pipe black like myne in the picture, or jus a aged pipe?
and i cbf buyin a chrome tip from supercheap or wateva, iv had a look, there like 60buks jus for a little tip that can go jump!

[futronix]

just buy a chrome tip got one for $20.00... measure where u want the tip to sit and then cut the exhaust back with a angle grinder, slip on tip and either screw it in to the exhaust, clamp it or tack weld it.... took me 10mins to do...

b4 i put my chrome tip on, i looked at my stock exhaust , and if u look at it, it looks liek it goes past da rear bumper, but if u look at it sideways, u see it is jsut flush with the rear bumper!, its jsut an illusion cos da rear bumper slopes down u know

[plAythiNG]

i'll post up a pic of my chrome tip soon, i liek the look of mine, cos its simple. my car looks clean n good cos its simple. well thats wot everyone else says, i beleive so too
