what do you need exhaust tips for? Are you thinking of running straight pipes? if so, at the end of this thread are pics of the magnaflow tips I used, they look great!

If you got flashed then that's because your low beams are aimed too high.

I have the exact same headlights and HID fogs as well and never gotten flashed once. And I also live in New York, so drivers' patience isnt a factor

Car looks sharp, though. Is your car a MY2000 or older? I ask because I wonder if you upgraded your tail lights.

if you're not putting anything through the rear mufflers you should just have some false pipes there. the mufflers are a lot of dead weight!

car looks good buddy

i use the mufflers because when the bypasses are off the car sounds stock and very quiet for the parents and the wife (and police) and my car is a 2001 and they are oem tails...i know it is alot of dead weight but its sometimes nice to have piece and quiet and sometimes nice to have a unleashed beast... i adjusted the headlights the day after and no more getting flashed from others... forgot to mention that... that car has not seen snow yet and i intend to keep it that way we got little over a foot and a half around here and on a good day the roads are clear but sooo much salt on the roads. and again guys thank you for the comments
