I like your exhaust setup a ton better with the tips. Not a fan of the rolled round ones.

Glad to see you learned to share... Ti Tips look good....

Tony made it very clear when I talked to him that the Ti tips were only availible in 4" and would be on back order for a while. The 4.5" regular tips were readily availible... So Tony Shot me strait right off the bat...

You waited TOO damn long, geez. How much did you save, and was it worth it waiting that long?

The Ti-burnt tips look good though.

so i ended up not getting the HFCs installed

I am really surprised that it wasn't worth the wait for you. Sorry to hear that. I know I waited also, not as long as you did, but I love mine. I couldn't be happier.
