SuzukiSavage.com - Tailpipe mock up

Greg Serious Thumper Offline Molon Labe Posts: 1251 Southeast PA, uSA Gender:	Tailpipe mock up 08/09/12 at 09:47:06 Still trying to figure it all out. This is where I'm at so far. I plan on wrapping the header in black and paint the tailpipe black. The muffler will be shot in red. I figure a 7" chrome heat shield at each end of the muffler to hide the ugly and a chrome fishtail tip. I welcome all thoughts, tips, and suggestions.

I thought of that. But so did everyone else. This is pretty unique in my area. I still don't know though...

Well done, I'd like to see it finished.

Like this one? Or this? Maybe this one? Something?

Re: Tailpipe mock up Reply #7 - 08/09/12 at 17:31:43 I totally get the "I dont want mine lookin like everyone elses" thing, but there just may be a reason or 2 that exhausts have been generally left down low.

Yes, it needs painted and a tip. Support is my concern. I was thinking of a bracket from the plate mount to the tail pipe. The fender does move in unison with the engine, correct?
