Body:
I do not think that they are (just) "tips" ~ I'll tell you why. You
are correct in that they were all the GT exhaust system and had
the "turn down" pipes, that curved down toward the ground at the last
4 inches, or so. IF these are auto supply store bought "tips" they
are near impossible to install as they are all straight, and if put
on one of these cars, they'd have to be pointing down at the
ground!! These on this car are pointing straight out... My money
says it's a changed exhaust system
