Thanks all.  The tips are a generic brand that our local shop had.  They would have been better slanted like the new Challenger but they weren't.  Anyway  they were as close as I could get to the correct size with out spending $250 for the split tips. I am still getting used to them myself.

Sounds WAY better now!  The thrushes sounded a little like they were blown out in side, had that gurglie under water sound.  The tips look darn good to me  :2thumbs:

Remember how the home movies looked in the 70's?   Grainy and liney.....well my son made a video of the Challenger on Sunday and did some editing to make it look 70 ish.   I think he did it right.   New Exhaust Set to 1970's Style Video Recording is the bottom link on the web page....click and watch.

Well I turned 57 on Sunday.  Had the family all here at the house.  Pic of 4 generations.........Dad, me , my 2 sons and my grandson.........  And a pic of the immediate clan.........Its good to be able to get together sometimes for good times.  As familys grow older, sometime the only times you get together is for funerals........Uncles, aunts, etc........Enjoy them while you can....Time goes a lot faster as you get older........ :bigsmile:

The exhaust sounds great!  Tips look good too, I saw those at my muffler shop too.  I don't have cutouts though.  Glad you are having fun with it! :burnout:
