Tips are tips, I have 4" tips on mine and it looks ok. 5" tips might fill the space better.

5" exhaust tips look muchhhh better in my opinion. If anyone has some off their magnaflow catback and don't want them, I'll buy them from you. I'll even trade you my 4" Flowmaster tips. For some reason a lot of people don't want the 5" tips, but they look a ton better in my opinion.

I know we talked about this, and while I'm of the same opinion as you, if you find someone or get some 5" tips, let me know what you might want for the 4"... If I don't find some 5" that I like, I'll settle for yours :P considering that I seem to keep buying your used parts! LOL

Hopefully someone will sell me the 5" tips. If they do, I'll let you know when I sell the Flowmaster 4" ones. Hopefully the CAI and sidemarkers are working out great.

Haven't put the side markers on yet. Taking the mods slooowwwllyyyy if I can help myself. Especially facing repair on the door. The CAI is great - had an obnoxious time with the electrical plug, and had to make a quick run to the store for a different hose. But other than that, it's on, it's great, and when I got on it a little on the freeway later that night, Bee sounded very beastly (granted probably still angry over the hit and run hahaha).... and yes. I anthropomorphize my car. DEAL WITH IT!

which sidemarkers you go with ? I been wanting to put the AAC ones but have heard many members were having issues with water getting inside and even of LED's going out I just got my afterburners and LED interior kit from them so I hope I dont run into any issues with that, if all goes smooth ill pull the trigger on a set of the AAC sidemarkers

She bought my RPI blackout sidemarkers.

I have the AAC LED sidemarkers Leo, and I'm hoping I don't have issues with it. What I do to minimize the time water is on my car when washing it is to use a leaf blower to dry the car off. Hopefully that will work, as it's been working so far. I wash/wax my car weekly. I'll keep you in the loop as to when or if they'll burn out.

thanks brotha, I just feel we shouldnt have to go out of our way to "minimize" chance of water getting into these LED's when we already pay top dollar from a well known brand of lighting specialist, what other sidemarkers are out there besides AAC ? or is that my only option for some badass looking sidemarkers

I completely agree. We shouldn't have to "hope" water doesn't develop in the sidemarkers. It's tough because AAC has a lifetime warranty, which makes it simple when problems arise. However, who the hells wants to deal with that if problems happen frequently. Now, showstopper makes LED sidemarkers as well, but they provide NO warranty, so your screwed when problems occur. Showstoppers are a bit more expensive as well, and they want you to send them your stock sidemarkers to keep. However, it seems people haven't had issues with Showstoppers at all. Who know in the future though. There is pluses and minuses for both.

Just checked the showstoppers and those look crapy ( no offense if anyone out there has these, just not for my taste ), like if they just took the stock sidemarkers and painted the bottom portion of it ....... so at this point it seems like AAC is my only option , so only two companies make LED sidemarkers for the camaro ?

Lol. Yeah, unfortunately there is only two companies that I know of. At least if you order AAC, just get them while they have half off of paint and free shipping. Mine were $248 or $258 shipped to my door (can't remember which one).
