Yes or no........

Yes or no on this tip. Is it too big? Does it look good, or is it corny? I just have it stuck on there, so it can come off. What do you guys think?

I'm generally not a chrome tip fan, but I don't think it looks bad. how big is it? 5 or 6"?

a picture from farther away might help with opinions, but it looks like you might be embarrassed to pull it out of the garage ;-)

almost as importantly - how does it sound?

My sentiments exactly....

You should have listened to me earlier.

I've said it before, and now I'll say it again - I am your voice of reason.

7" HOLY CRAP! that's bigger than the ductwork in my house!

is that a shortbed truck - or does the 7" tip just skew my perspective.

whatever the case, it doenst look terrible, but I don't know if I can say it looks good! just my brutally honest opinion, though. the rest of the truck looks like a million bucks, though for what its worth!

I like it.... but I think it would look better if it came out the back of the wheel instead of in front...

I vote drop down to a 6". 6" single stack, miter cut! Something like this. Lol I'm lonely. One of the few with a stack on here. Lol

I think it would look better behind the wheel. Looks a little odd there. How's it sound?
