Custom Exhaust tips

[BackinBlack71]

Hey guys I designed and built a pair of exhaust tips to resemble the early mustangs and later years and I'm looking for some feed back. So let me know what you think i would greatly appreciate it!

They look very nice but are they not to heavy(weight)?

Looks pretty cool, I really like the design! I am also doing some custom exhaust tips on my car.. Do you have some pictures of your car? Is it a project or a finished car you are installing them in to?

each weigh a pound and 13-14 ounces. and thank you there going on a 71 coupe project car that i bought last year. I have more pictures but i haven't downloaded them yet from the iPad ill have them up either today or tomorrow.

Good looking car.. Can't wait to see them installed, I think it's gonna be perfect! I love to see people add cool mods to these Mustangs, I'm also doing a lot modifications on my car

Very creative! Will look good if mounted correctly.

Would have been cool to follow the trapezoid shape of the taillights.

 

[BackinBlack71]

thank you! im dying to mount them but i have a long way to go. and i was thinking og making another set to see how it would come out but personally i love this look its gonna b hard to change it.

 

[protouringstang73]

But the long way is worth it in the end! I also like the look of the car as it is, that's why we chose them.. But it is allways funny to make some changes and see how it looks

Will they go through, halfway through, or under the valance?

Under the valence always looks funny to me - unless it turns down like factory exhaust did. I think it would look cool to have valence cutout surrounding this custom design. -Cutout and bead/roll the edges.

Here is one (modded) setup I really like



Here are some non stock ones that look wrong - not always terrible - to me. This convertible with the oval tips don't look too bad, but still out of place. Obviously a modded car.



These look like a quick add-on.



I would prefer they are shorter and turn down just inside the rear edge of valence like the Boss cars and for other 71-3's. That gives a very nice and clean look to the rear of the car.



Of course exhaust tips with the cutout valence is cool too...

well im planning on working a way to have a cut out that matches the tips and fits the car. i want them to look custom but that they we always meant to be there and not just thrown together.

I think they are excellent and I like your project. I need to make a very similar one for my 71. The shape would be only slightly different. I went with something that is shaped more like the tail lights on a heavy angle to fit into the rear valance ports I designed.

Wow, look at the horrible stripe placement on that first red one...

I think that's what happens when you put the decals on before you install the trunk weatherstripping.

Not a correct stripe for a convertible - but yes, very sloppy work even for a mod.
