Exhaust tip opinions wanted

Ok, so here is one of the exhaust tips I’m considering. It receives dual exhausts. You are welcome to give an opinion.

To be honest, I’m not a big fan. Just like I’m not a big fan of the dual exhausts on the Silverados that look like HMDI ports, that one kind of looks like a USB port.

Also, where does your hitch go?

Thanks for your comment. I hadn’t noticed, but you are right, it does look a bit like a USB port. The hitch is removed. IMO it detracts from the looks of the car and is unnecessary weight as I have an 06 Silverado I use for towing.

I'm biased but after a bunch of different exhaust setups I've come to prefer a turndown, that's hidden from view completely. I agree with the USB port look, they also sorta look like pockets for forks on a forklift to slide into. Thats is a pretty neat tip shape tho, can't say I've seen that one I bet it wasn't cheap!

Thanks for your opinion. A reason I’m considering this tip is because its free. But I don’t think it works for me. I’m thinking dual tips, maybe flattened ovals center located in the bumper intention, but with as much distance between them as their width and the width of the indention allows.

Doesn't dumping the exhaust out the rear interfere with getting stuff in and out of the hatch?

How's that going to work with your spare?

Why not just out the sides under the rear quarter panels like factory but one in each side?

Spare tire is history. It’s being replaced with one of the OEM seal and inflator kits now supplied as standard equipment on some models by GM, Ford, Volvo, Porsche, etc. in lieu of spare tires. The exhaust will not extend beyond the edge of the bumper so it should not interfere with loading and unloading from the back. I just plain don’t like the rear quarter panel side exhausts. To me it lacks imagination. I’m going for a unique, yet GM-stable-look vis-a-vis center mounted exhausts on Corvettes and and earlier model Camaros. The challenge is to find something that looks like it belongs rather than tacked on. This exhaust fits the car geometrically. It fits the width of the bumper indention and doesn’t extend too far below the bottom plane of the bumper. But for me, a single wide mouth center mounted exhaust fails the style test aesthetically. Might work on a sports car, but a bit out of place on a SUV. So, I’m trying to strike a balance in which center mounted exhausts on a large GM SUV look like they belong, being remmanscent of GMs Corvettes and Camaros, while avoiding cheesy!

Yeah not a fan of that tip.
