I'm looking for a new exhaust tip and I looked at the tip on it now and realized that the original piping goes all the way to the end of the tip. Did anyone have to cut the end of the exhaust pipe down to keep the new tip from sticking out too far, or will the end of the piping not show if the tip is slipped farther back? Pictures would be helpful. Thanks!

 

Most tips will slip-on far enough so that the end of the tailpipe is covered and not sticking-out. Personal examples ...

MAGNAFLOW polished stainless steel, 3" inlet / 4" outlet / 12" long - part # 35212.
GIBSON Ceramic Coated Matte Black Stainless Steel, 3" inlet / 4" outlet / 12" long - part # 500427-B

 

I removed my tip cut the tailpipe about 10", right before the bend and replaced tip. Then replaced factory tip with a Gibson 4" tip.
This pic shows you OEM tip with cut tail pipe. From the factory the tip sticks to at out IMHO.

I have that matte black Gibson one. I didn't cut anything, but after a few months I decided that I needed to - it sticks out too far and gets dirty really quickly. Plus, you can see the stock pipe, which I don't like. Haven't done it yet, but the recent snow and rain and mud convinced me to do it, maybe this weekend.

 

[MENTION=141720]Z7What[/MENTION] looking to do the same. pics of where you cut stock pipe? What did you use to cut pipe?

 

I don't. I cut it just before the bend, cut a total of about 10" off with a sawzall.

We have approx. 45 different exhaust tips to choose from. I really like what Z7What did with his.

Hope this helps!!

So a 3" inlet is what's ideal for a 2013?

 

Yes.

Here's another shot.
