What about my damn vents? Got 'em aimed where I need 'em and no need for gauges.. yet.

Tips hittin the bumper or just too wide? Could get an exhaust shop to massage them on there.

They were not only hitting the bumper but also nearly didn't sit under the bumper at all.

I'd have to cut back the exhaust as well for the tips to actually tuck under properly. Not to mention I need to buy an aftermarket hangar on the right side to bring the pipe down an inch or so.

In the end I'm going to just lower the outs a bit and run them without tips until I can decide. I actually like the look as is with the pipes just hidden/tucked under the cover.

As for my vents: I actually USE them. Not just for decoration. Sorry if you forget that this is also my DD so if I want heat or air..

After a few modifications to lower the exhaust..
