GT1 F1 v5.1 pics, no burnt tips

Not sure why everyone says the quad tips won't fit the 02 valance. It looks like it fits to me. Congratulations on your new exhaust and say good bye to your ear drums.
If your going to run your cats, I'd like to hear that. I believe I've only heard with TP's.

I meant you were dedicated to letting people know it is SS and not Ti by sanding the burnt tips off, especially on a brand new exhaust.
exhaust is in...looks freaking AWESOME! sound is INCREDIBLE!!!!
one question, how close can the tip get to my valance before I need to worry about heat damage? tip is kind of close (quarter of an inch, maybe slightly less) on one of the sides.....looks to be the same in the black car pictured above as well....I just dont want to damage my valance..

installed pics posted above....
You know a dremal will open up that valence safely. I had to open my GT-One valence after it was painted and was no problem whatsoever. It only takes a few minutes to do. It does a nice clean job. Just an FYI. Congrats you lucky bastard.:wink:
yeah im not cutting into my valance lol. it fits fine, but tip is a bit close on the passenger side. Guessing it will be fine, but will monitor the area.
thanks for the congrats lol..I will tell you, firing up this car is addicting now lol
Funny you ask this. Mine had a little burning on the driver side... but the good thing is after it did this I took the valence back to the paint shop and when they sanded it back down and resprayed it there hasn't been an issue since. The heat had carved out a nitch.. because its only a mm or soo thats an issue it will now me just perfect.
Edit: looking at your installed pics I dont think your gonna have any problems!!

It's not going to work what ever u do/ it looks like it dont fit right
now sell me your exhaust :biggrin:
j/k
wht kind of polish did you use?
Chicken, bac bac bac.:biggrin:
honestly, these are too close for comfort....anyone want to trade for a single tip? lol
Jack, as I mentioned, I have about 3/8" clearance at the same point. I doubt that the 1/8" less that you have would make much of a difference.
went for a planned short drive....turned out to be 3 hours lol. this car is so much more fun now lol...
anyways, took a few more pics which show the install a bit better...let me know what you guys think.

i always feel those tips are really unrecognizable unless u look at them closedly. really hard to see if it's far way.
also, if those tips' position is a little lower to match the bottom part of valence, it will be much better.
sounds like u getting amazing on your new toy. ha

this is what i have. it's just my personal taste. i like to make my tips to match the bottom angle of valence. i let a shop made customized tips on the stock exhaust. right side is not perfect, maybe a revised work late.
Looking good. Glad to see the quad tips fit. Looks like I will go with the OEM rear valance too once I do my 02 conversion.
