Re: Tips

["Slappy" <jasonk@widomaker.com>]

I admit 4" is quite big, and I was a little weiry of it looking like the
Foldgers tips on Hondas, but after it was installed, it did look quite good
and not too big.  But it's off now, and I have the Techtonics polished (not
chrome, or even close) 2.25" end pipe that comes with the exhaust system, so
you can all sleep well at night now...
