Like the title says...I am going back and forth with 18 vs 22" tips. I like the look of not seeing the exhaust pipe attaching the tip...but I dont want the tip to stick out much further than the bumper...maybe an inch. So is there room to route it like that? Plans are for now the high flow cats, 18" DI/DO maggie and the rolld tips 3.5x18 or 22. I will have long tubes on in the future as well if that changes things...

Thanks...tips are holding up the trigger pull

 

I measured mine to see if I could fit 22" tips and I couldn't. It would go into my bend on the driver side. But that was measuring against my old mandrel bent exhaust tubing. I think that if you go with 22" you are making life tough on your shop and it may result in a crimp bend.

 

Thats what I was kinda afraid of...I have seen a few pics of the 22" but they were sticking out a few inches. I think I will just stick with 3.5x18

 

I just noticed you have the stepside bed...would that make a difference?

 

I have the 6.5 ft bed and, if anything, would help me on the 22s. You have the 5.5 ft bed I think because I don't think they started with 6.5 ft bed until '07. That gives me more wheelbase and more room to work in the bends than you. Width isn't a factor because the C/C distance of the wheels is the same.

Here is a pic of my 18" tip.



If you look to the left of the weld you can make out the bend as the material is a different shade do to the stretching of the metal. I would stick with the 18" tips.

 

Ahh ok...not sure on the bed length but it is a 05 and I saw that pic but didnt know there was a bend that close to the tip but I see it now. Yours are 4"? Any rear shot down low like that?

 

Yep, mine are 4" tips. Great for projection. I thought I had one directly from the rear. Must not. If you look at my exhaust clip in the exhaust contest there is a down low portion of video that may help you out. If you still need one I can try to get one this evening for you.

 

This one too bad an angle for you?

 

I had seen the vid too...was just wondering if you had a pic but its no big deal. I was just trying to get a good feeling of how big the 4" are. I think I might stick with 3.5". I have 4" on my 06 mustang but it has the cutouts in the bumper for them...I think on the truck 4" might be a tad too big so 3.5 might be a little safer.

 

4"x18" is my choice

 

I went 3.5...I can always change them if I want bigger after seeing them on.

Thanks yall!
