I want to purchase the polished tailpipes from stinger but I want to see what they look like installed-anybody got a pic of them on their car?
here are a few pics that RDOG posted of his sons car with the stinger tails. the tails are designed to be used with the offset/offset lers and they come with with a straight cut on the outlet end. I was there for the mock up and he did the mock up on my TC. enjoy :D

They look perfect-thanks for the pics bro.
Now, they are 2 1/2" pipes right? They look small for the car. Almost need to have a set of 3" tail pipes on the car or maybe 3 1/2" tips on the pipes. But they look good on the cars and follow the body lines good.
your very welcome bud.
they are 2.5" pipes and stinger does offer a 3" tail for the thunderbird. I think he offers the 3" for both sides but I am unsure.
Where those the alumanized or SS ?
Is that the slip joint I see on the second pic?
stainless, I'm not sure what your asking, they are all one piece.
A quote from Stingers site

After looking at the pic again, on Stingers site, I can see the slip fit is at the high point of the arc.
3" - 3 1/2" pipes? its not a ricer, or a diesel engine. just my opinion.
+1
I think 2.5 is just perfect, any larger would look kinda outa place, unless you have a raunchy big displacement motor or something.:flame:
I had 3" tailpipes on one of my old birds(5.0) and it definitely increased the volume of the exhaust. I must admit it did look good.
The bigger pipe is for the smaller engine :P
No. I put 3" tips on my 2 1/2" cat back for my turbocoupe. The 2-1/2" tail pipes look so small. 3 1/2" might be too big but definatly the 3" tips looked good on my car.Fat pipes for a fat car.
Oh and yes, I do work on diesels where the 5" cat backs are installed with a 6" tip.... nice and loud for sure. Works like a mega-phone.
I was on the stinger site looking at the pipes. How do you mount the hangers for the tail pipes? It does not look like there is a bracket on the tail pipes at all.
Im looking into buying these myself for my 88 sport coupe...after seeing them on a tbird I want them even more! I may go for the cheaper "aluminized" tails and just put some chrome or stainless tips on them.
Thought I would chime in here...I ordered the SS tails from Stinger and they arrived this week..They look good but before I install them I think I will try to polish them up a little more....Anyone have any ideas what I can try?
