yes a muffler shop will be able to cut and reattach a tip to any length you want or any tip you want for that matter.

hell, just go to the muffler shop and get them to cut the resonator off and weld a straight pipe and a new tip on. i chose a bosal 3" tip, and like you said, i hate exhaust tips that stick out any at all, so i had them make it near flush with the top of the bumper cut out. sounds great, and for $300 and change less...

i went to the exhaust shop near my house and had a magna flow muffler put on, w/ a 3" stainless tip. they took off both of the old mufflers, out the magnaflow in, ran 2.25" tubing, and the tip for $135. beat that! it may have about a half of a h.p. less than those expensive sets- but to me, it was a much better deal

 

i can beat it. mine was $60 including tip.

I bought the Apex-i Cat back exh. and its clean with the bumper. It dosn't stick out at all. I bought mine for $400. I have seen other exh. but I think this one looks the best.

 

Umm Sorry guys but i really needed info on the listed exhuasts. A custom muffler set up isn't really an option. Thanks though.

Like i stated before i need pricing, pictures, and quality testimonials.

Sorry, dude, I dont have any pics, but I have the FS exhaust, and I love it. Nice sound, not obnoxious, and the tip looks perfect. I have the thermal-coated system, and so far it has held up great. Hope this helps. If you want to see a pic, just go to www.focussport.com

What mods do I have now?
Im not Telling..

 

alright, here we go. here's everything i got for ya.

What? Thermal R&D stainless cat-back
Where? www.modernperformance.com
Price? $455.99
Sound? http://www.clubdub.org/infinityx/exhaust.mp3
Looks?

Comments? I've had my exhaust on for about 3 months now, and have not a single complaint about it. It still looks all nice and shiny, just from simple cleaning (when I wash my car, I wash the exhaust, no special cleaners). It still sounds great, and has a definite power gain. Modern Performance dyno tested the exhaust to have a gain of approximately 7.5hp over a stock exhaust setup.

If you have any other questions, feel free to email me.

Hey Thanks Focuszoomin!!! Great info and i love the use of the pic!

I hope everybody else can follow his example

Right now i'm leaning towards the Vibrant or MBRP from what i have heard great stainless construction and really nice looking tips. Of course both have great sound.

I have been checking out the Apexi WS Exhaust for awhile...but i couldn't find out how it sounds like and also the performance. So can you tell me what it sounds like at low rpm and high rpm?

I just installed the APEXi WS on my Foci and to tell you the truth, you can hardly hear the difference from the stock exhaust but the performance on it is something else. At low rpm it sounds a little louder than at high rpm. I could tell the difference in hp. I think it's the best looking exhaust out there.

 

You should consider the Bosal Performance system! 2.25 inch stainless system with a 5 year warranty! A fine cat-back system without the droning and all the power! Available at www.newedgeperformance.com.
