I had a can of High Temp VHT paint in Aluminum color. I used to blend in the colors of the two metals. Worked great and took me about 5 min to do.

Before you pay to put those back on you should add a resonated X-pipe. That will be your muffler and give you just a little performance. http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=64964

Ahhh Caverman! I've been looking for your thread about your setup since yesterday! Thank you for posting it up! I am strongly considering the resonated X-Pipe. I didn't get aftermarket tips, but the ones you use do look sharp. I planned on doing this as a step by step process, essentially following your build. I will Re-Read it and shoot any questions your way if you don't mind?

always happy to toss out some suggestions.
Once I switched over to headers and the 3" Magnaflow exhaust I sold mine to a guy with a 2LT for $300. Sounded alot better than I thought it would on a V6. They need the resonated x-pipe to keep if from sounding like a ricer. Muffler delete on a V6 is no good. Muffler delete with resonated x-pipe on a V6 .

[QUOTE=Stone★ColdNuts;3176525]Just had a local muffler shop cut off my jerry can's.
Question: Is the replacement pipe used a strait pipe, or did they had to bend it with a mandrel to weld your original tips? Do you know what's the size of pipe and its lenght? thanks mike

[QUOTE=Mikamaro;3180028]It was 2.5 inch pipe to match the rest of the exhaust as far as I know. Stainless steel, not sure what grade. It started out as straight pipe, but they bent it to fit.

Welcome to the club! One thing you NEED to do... stand about 5 feet directly behind your car, then have your fiance(or a buddy) get in and fire it up, after you pick your jaw off the ground have them rev it up to 3-4k a couple of times....I just had my wife do this a couple weeks ago, I almost needed to change my pants after, it was AWESOME!!!!

A resonoated X-pipe from Magnaflow will help a little. Won't get rid of it but should tame it down some.

I will likely do the resonated x-pipe within the next few weeks. I will update when it is finished.
So far, so good with the setup though.
