A new exhaust tip! Well it's not a big deal, but it's my latest mod. I just felt like posting a picture of it. What do you guys think? Now I just have to order and install the Dynomax muffler.

Yeah - in an attempt to cut down on blatant post padding.

It looks wierd with a nice shiny tip and an old pipe going in to it. Get some dirt on it or something! Oh I forgot, your Runner never leaves the parking lot. Nevermind. J/K

 

Looks just like the tip on my tacoma, I had them put in a Dynomax ultra flow and use the stock pipe and just add the tip. looks good.

 

here's my tip and my new bugshield since Im so proud of it

 

Speaking of parking lots:

I like your new tip ... how's the sound??

 

Vato Loco,
I like the tip. Looks good. Can I get those tail lights for my 2001 and if so, where?

Vato,

Hey, I like it! For me, I painted the rear section of my tail pipe w/ rustoleum flat black spray paint. it looks much better because the tail pipe visually gets "lost" b/c everything else underneath is flat black. More importantly, it hides the rust colored pipe. And for your new tip, I think makes your new setup look a little off. Sort of like putting a shiny new chrome hood ornament on a rusty Cadillac!

So something like this:



I might have to do it this weekend. I'm going to have to use a brush, I do not want ot get paint on the bumper or rear mud flap. Thanks Bob!

 

Looks good man, when I got my Dynomax put on last weekend I too had a new tip put on...but to avoid the look of the rust on chrome I opted for a longer tip so that it didn't look as bad. I was going to get new piping all the way back but the old pipe was in the really good shape so I just used the old stuff.

Call me an idiot, but I have never done it/seen it done before.
How are the new tips put on? Welded, or just a tight slip on?

 

First you cut off the amount of old pipe needed to fit the tip on with a plasma cutter or a poor mans plasma cutter (hacksaw and muscle) and then weld on the tip.

Short answer = Welded on

I had one of these on my 1991 Runner and I thought it looked great. My old Pops actually had put it on before he gave it to me.
I think I will keep my 2001 tip stock untill I get a whole new exhaust system..way down the road.
Most people yell out bling..but I think it is a simple way to make a crappy looking pipe look sort of nice.

 

vato,

just use some newspaper and masking tape and cover the areas you dont want the spray paint on.

bob

 

vato,

or you can get some plastic sheeting and masking tape and just cut a hole for the pipe to poke through -- then tape around the hole and spray away!

 

Some attach with set-screws on the collar.

With the screw-on tips you can use them to adjust the tone and performance of your rig. (yes, seriously, this isn't a 15hp joke). A 4-cycle engine can benefit from a "tuned pipe", not as much as a 2-cycle can, but there _is_ a method to the math.

Maybe you should use the Porter Cable on it too.... Or you could just get a freaking way too expensive Borla Stainless Steel one like I did and it will always look purty with no work.

 

does this change the sound of your motor?

 

I doubt it. I think its mostly for "looks"....
