Default Exhaust tips

Hi guys, i wanted to add exhaust tips onto my '05 Accord EX V-6, Gold. I saw some nice stainless steel tips, but nothing super amazing. Any ideas on cheap exhaust tips that look good on a gold accord? Thanks

Tips are nothing but noise makers. If you want the rice sound get a 4in or bigger tip and your car will have lots of sound and little pep in its step.

Now if you are going for a particular sound than that can be accomplished with mufflers.

What are you exactly looking for?

I'm not looking for sound as much as look. And preferably bolt on, but those seem a bit harder to find

How about a nice adjustable muffler that looks like this one?

if you are just looking for a chrome tip or something. Take a look at pepboys store. They have lots of muffler tips. Just about any auto parts store will have muffler tips. Where you just slide the tip over your pipe and they are screwed on. Like a glass on a ceiling fan light fixture.

magnaflow has nice looking tips. But I don't know if they sell them separate from the muffler. I have a magnaflow tip on my flowmaster 40 series. Only reason I have one is b/c it was laying around the shop and it was just gonna get thrown away. I don't think your really gonna go wrong with a tip. It something more or less for looks so it's not like it's a moving part or anything. But I would stay away from the square tips...to me they just look like garbage.

What year and trim accord do you have? The OEM tips from the 4th and 5th gen accords look nice. Just not big and flashy.
