That tip is a special one! SoCal told me what it was, for the life of me right now, I don't recall the name of it.
Right after Mike told me it's name, I spent over an hour searching the Internet for one, he told me it would be hard to find. I came up empty!
Perhaps SoCal mght post it's identity!

It's probably the same guys that take all the spare tires from the rear undercarriage of pick-ups.

This one has "Bling" or "disco" or what ever. Perhaps this one WOULD be stolen!?

Good luck. It is a "Copy" of a Sebring tip. Only the real Sebring Oval only has rolled edges, this tip is double-walled and fully welded just like the stock tip.

It may look "huge" but actually it's just an oval and fits the stock cutout nicely. I love the looks & sound of it, but can't for the life of me find them anywhere! Many people have asked me to sell them - if I can locate them, I will.

This actually does happen. I had a nice tip bolted on to my Capri's muffler and stopped at a bar for a couple cold ones, and when I came out to leave someone actually stole my tip. I'd a never thunk it would happen...LOL

Now I always weld them on.

Some people are just low. Of all the things to steal on a car they pick the exhaust tip. I have had valve stem caps stolen before. I had to laugh because they were just basic black plastic ones. They must not have had a buck or two to buy their own set.
