    Default Chrome Slash Cut exhaust tips... Supra Saltare

    Looking to do a set of Slash cut, chrome exhaust tips... Mine are old, rubber and crappy looking.

    Any idea if anyone has done this? What size will I need and I'm assuming, take out the bolts, cut the caulking... remove old... re-seal new ones and put bolts in and I'm golden?

    I'm sure they will be a bit louder, but that's okay... I'm young.

    Something similar to this...

    Depends on the year & configuration - some early Salts had Supertrapps & late 80's switched to mufflers and rubber flaps like on my 89. If you've got mufflers and flaps, the black plastic flange that the flaps clamp onto has a tubular section that projects through the transom (like shown in your reference link) and the muffler clamps directly onto the other end. You'd have to remove the ski locker & gas tank to access that joint. You can check for mufflers by lifting the flap & shining a flashlight up the ole exhaust wazoo - the baffles are easy to see if you have mufflers. Straight tips won't effect the sound much with mufflers in place. Sorry, don't remember if they're 3 or 4"

    She's got 4 inch apparently but I think I have mufflers. And dangit! Guess that's a project for next year. Anybody ever removed the mufflers easily? I need to show those fan boys that the ole' girl's gotta mean side to her too

    I told my wife that 4 inches was a big block!

    Oh, you didn't mean that kind of joke... sorry. Couldn't resist.
