At $87 CA they seem too cheap.  I bought these and they were quality parts (they also have 2.5").  http://www.pgclassic.com/229-s3-mopar-dodge-e-body-challenger-3-inches-stainless-exhaust-tips/

They really shouldn't cost that much, simple tooling and $10 worth of metal.
I'd give them a try if I didn't already have a set.

To me they look a bit odd where the exit pieces are welded to the body. Can you get a satisfaction guarantee or at least a better picture before you buy?

I think they just look different where the tips are connected to the body because it is welded solid right around where on other tips the weld is not as visible.  You would only ever notice this from below the car once installed and if the welds look nice it may not be bad.  I may call them and see what the return policy is.

I called and spoke to them these are made in China and are 409 polished stainless.  I asked about any quality issues and I was told there was none that they were aware of, he said if they dont carry products that have know issues.  He said that I am welcome to come and inspect before I buy.  He prefers not to ship it out and have it sent back.

Price shown is per side so not much cheaper than other better known vendors. Of course it is much cheaper than TTI. Still don't understand why TTI tips cost so much more.

How do they compare to actual OE measurements?  They look a little to tall and not as wide.  Might just be the picture though.
