Exhaust tips?

Has anyone tried these from americantrucks yet? Just came in. Gonna see how they look. If I like them I’m gonna paint Original tips black before I slide these on. Just curious if there’s anyone that had bad experience with them.

What I don't like about those is that the original pipe sticks out where you can still see it.

When I had considered those tips, I thought maybe the stock pipes could be cut back to the vent holes so they didn't stick out.

But, once that is done you're pretty much locked in to using them.

Why not just get high temp paint and paint the stock tips black... or the entire exhaust system if you prefer.

Those clamp-on tips are much larger diameter than the stock pipes, that's why most put them on.

I was going to go with the polished stainless ones if I got them.

Yeah that’s what’s throwing me off is how much bigger they flare out to. Here’s some quick pics. I didn’t slide all the way on because they a pita to get off.

Drinking a few cold ones staring at them. Starting to grow on me. Either way i would need to paint stock with high temp black if I use them but maybe I would like just the stock tips painted rather then the clamp on

As mentioned earlier, I went with high temp black paint and did my stock tips up to the resonator. So far, it has held up over past year and saved $ on tips and cutting factory hardware.

Actually...
They don't look too bad with them not slid all the way back.
So, if you just put them on that far, the oem vents are still open, and you could paint the ends of the stock pipes and they probably would look okay.
I might have to try a set after all.

Not looking to bad. I just wish they cam out same size without flare. Takes some getting used to. If it had a lift and offset wheels I think would be a compliment. Keeping her stock this time. Rv,kids, wallet. Lol
